I bought a computer from a friend, with WinME on it. I have successfully got
it wirelessly connected to my network. I can see and access the internet
fine. However whenever I try to access drives on my other two computers, I
get the password box. The other computers are running Win2KPro. There is no
password set on either drive. Can you help?


Is it asking for the IPC$ password? If so, Win2KPro is trying to
validate the user name that wants to access its shared drives. The
solution is to create a user account on the Win2KPro computers with
the same user name and password that you use to log onto Windows Me.
