Unable to access Win98 shares from XP
I have a WinXP Pro laptop that connects to a network to access shares
on a Win98SE server. When connected direct to the local network all is great, the basic non-password protected Win98 shares can be accessed from the XP laptop directly without providing any usernames/passwords. However when the XP laptop connects to the network through a router, a dialog box is launched requesting a username and password to access the Win98 server. What username/password should be used? Can this be disabled? Win98 machines connected through the router can connect directly to shares on the server without this problem. All PC's are in a simple workgroup configuration, running TCP/IP. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Kind Regards Richard |
