Netorking with Vista
Has anyone had any luck networking Win98SE with Vista (simple workgoup, not
a domain)? It keeps asking for a password, but nothing works. (I've also posted on the Vista board, but no response.) |

I see the same thing when the Vista computer has "password protected sharing" enabled, which requires matching credentials (same user name and password) on both computers. Vista doesn't accept the credentials that Win98SE sends it, so it asks for new credentials, which causes an IPC$ prompt on Win98SE. There's no correct response to that prompt. The problem is that, by default, Vista only uses NTLMv2 authentication for network access, and Win98SE doesn't have that type of authentication. Here are some possible solutions: 1.

Disable "password protected sharing" on Vista. I've had mixed results with all of those solutions. Win98SE can access some of Vista's shared folders, but not others. Sometimes Win98SE sees only partial contents of a shared folder on Vista.

Netorking with Vista
Thanks for the reply. I had previously tried the Vista LM & NTLM option and
turning off the "password protected sharing" (didn't fix it) but had not tried the Win98 registry change. When I tried to change the Win98 registry, it already had a LSA key for the passport service, so I just added another key for LMCompatibility (value = 3). I may not have made the registry change correctly, but it didn't fix the issue either. I also tried setting-up a user account on Vista with the same ID/login as the Win98 PC, but no help either. Thanks again for your response. "Steve Winograd [MVP]" wrote in message ... In article , "Rusty H" wrote: Has anyone had any luck networking Win98SE with Vista (simple workgoup, not a domain)?

You need a matching user account (same user name and password) on Win98 and Vista to access shares on a Vista computer that uses password protected sharing. The registry change isn't sufficient to enable NTLMv2 on Win98. You also have to install the Directory Services Client, as described in KB239869. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.

Netorking with Vista
I "thought" I had installed the DS Client when I ran the DSClient9x.msi.
But, re-reading the instructions, I realized that you then have to run DSClient.exe from the folder that the msi created. Now I can see the shared folders of Vista without the IP$ problem, but there are still issues. If the shared Vista folder has more than a few subfolders (6-8), then the listing only contains a few of the subfolders and then only show the first letter of that subfolder (which gives "folder not found" when selected). Even with a shared folder that opens correctly, it takes 2-4 minutes for it to display a filelist of only 7 files - I can eventually open the file if I wait long enough! The Win98 PC is an old laptop P1-133 and I only keep it to program alarm systems some old systems use a DOS program and will never be re-written). The Vista experiment was to see what would happen if I upgrade my desktops (used to backup the laptop data and print). I suspect it's now a timing issued because of the old PC being so slow, but I don't have a more modern Win98 PC to confirm that. I'll just keep WinXP for now! THANKS!
