Cannot connect to other computer on network from 98SE
Have simple home network. One XP machine, one 98SE
machine connected via D-link router. Followed all instructions for networking on XP machine first, then ran the resultant netsetup.exe on 98 machine. Shared drives and printers. Both are in the same workgroup. Both machines have an account with same username and password. XP machine can see and read/write to resources on the 98 machine OK. 98 machine gets prompted for a password when trying to connect to the XP machine, but always fails with incorrect password (I know it is the correct password). The prompt when trying to connect is: You must supply a password to make this connection: Resource: \\THINKPAD\IPC$ Password: Please note that THINKPAD is the computer name for the XP machine, but I don't understand the IPC$ Please help. |

Cannot connect to other computer on network from 98SE
Go to the XP machine. Make sure that the XP machine is
set to share files and allow other to make changes to your files. I connect two XP PCs with a W98 PC used as a print server. Both XP machine are setup without passwords. Instead of typing in a password when originally asked, I hit an empty return (no password). Once I set the XP machines to allow sharing of the files and to allow others to make chaneges, it all worked well. -----Original Message----- Have simple home network.
