Can Not Connect
I have three computers on a wired LAN in my house, two are using Windows
2000 and they connect to the network OK. The Internet works fine and I can do file sharing between the two. However, I am running Windows 98 on the third computer and I can get on the Internet, but I can not get on the network to do file sharing. I have it set up to do Client for Microsoft Networks with file sharing. I have the Primary Network Logon set for Client for Microsoft Networks. The computer works OK on the Internet, but does not logon otherwise. Any Suggestions??? Thanks in advance George

Click Start, then Log Off. You should then get a logon prompt, and if you
log on with a username and password "known" to the Windows 2000 computers that should straighten out the rest. -- Richard G.

I am a novice at this so please be patient. I am not sure what you mean when
you say "logon with a user name and password "known" to the Windows 2000 computers". How do I let it be known to the 2000 computers? I logon the 2000 computer as Administrator - no password. I logon the Windows 98 as George Lawshe - no password. Since I am the only one using this network I would like not to have passwords, but if neccessary will use them.

Instead of logging in as George Lawshe, log in as Administrator.
Another option would be to create another user account on each of the Win 2000 machines with George Lawshe as the user name. Passwords are not required. The Windows 2000 machine will not allow any other computer to access shared files or anything if that remote computers login name and password don't match a local account. In other words here is what is happening now. Your Windows 98 machine is sending a request to view files on the Windows 2000 machine. The Windows 2000 machine asks for a user name and password (behind the scenes in the networking protocols). The Windows 98 machine responds with George Lawshe - no password. Since the Windows 2000 machine does not have an account named George Lawshe the request is rejected. The key is to make sure that every machine has the same users and passwords (or lack thereof) set up on them. Windows 2000 and newer requires this to beef up the security on networks. Older Windows versions had terrible security but it did make file sharing really easy. Now that the Internet is connected with most networks, security is a real concern. Hope that helps.

Tim has hit the nail on the head - use a username (and password, if one is
used) that you use to log onto the Windows 2000 computers. -- Richard G. Harper [MVP Shell/User] * PLEASE post all messages and replies in the newsgroups * for the benefit of all.

Can Not Connect
I am still having trouble connecting the Win 98 and Win 2000 computers. All
three have the same login name . The Win 2000s computers seem to connect ok, but neither one recognizes the Win 98 and the Win 98 recognizes itself, but not the Win 2000 computers. I am using Client for Microsoft Networks in the Win 98 computer, is this correct? I am logged on as George Lawshe in the Win 98 Computer (same as the Win 2000 Computers). In Win 2000 I can find the dialog box with each user log on info. I can not find that same info in Win 98, I may not be logged on as administrator, how can I check? George "Richard G.
