Default networking Me and W2K professional

I have a home network through a hub. One computer has W2K Pro, the other
Windows Me in the same workgroup.When I tried to access W2K computer from
Windows Me one, I am getting a pop-up window asking to enter net password and
showing login share as "ohercomputername\IPC$" with no room to enter the name
of a account name that was set up for Windows Me computer on W@K one. All
attempts to put any password were unsuccessful. Does anyone know what I am
doing wrong and could help me?

Windows Me sends the currently logged-in credentials (user name and
password) when you access another computer over the network, and
there's no way to specify different credentials. The IPC$ prompt
indicates that W2K Pro doesn't recognize the credentials, and there's
no correct response to that prompt.

The solution is to create matching accounts -- same user name and
password -- on both computers. Then, a shared W2K resource that
grants permission to either that account or to the Everyone group will
grant access to Windows Me.
