When you access a password-protected Windows 95/98/Me shared
directory
from Windows XP, the password prompt always shows the name of the
computer that owns the share, followed by the account name "Guest".
It's prompting for the password that you assigned to the shared
directory on 95/98/Me, not for the password of any user account.

I agree with Norman's suggestion: un-share the shared directory on
Me,
then re-share it with the desired password and try accessing it from
XP again.

If that doesn't fix the problem, try this on the XP Pro computer: go
to Control Panel User Accounts, click your user account, click
"Manage my network passwords", and remove any stored passwords for
network shares. Then try accessing the share again.

Steve, Norman:

Tried it all. Only thing that works is to share without a password. If
I give it a password in the share and try to
access it I am asked for a password, but it will not accept that
password.

Thanks anyway.
