ME and XP Networking and password request
Two computers connected through ethernet ports by crossover cable. One runs
XP and the other ME. Both setup to use a workgroup configuration. Both machines can see the other in the Network Places window. The XP machine can access shares on the ME maching with no problem. When I try to access the XP machine from the ME unit I get a dialog which says: Enter Network Password Resource \\XPUnit\IPC$ I don't know what to enter (or why this dislog is occuring). The password for the admin on the XP machine does not work, neither does the one for the user of the ME machine. |

requires enabling of "file and print sharing" on your XP machine. Check
"help". "Ron Hegewald" Ron wrote in message ... Two computers connected through ethernet ports by crossover cable. One runs XP and the other ME. Both setup to use a workgroup configuration.

Thanks guys, but nothing seemed to help. I gave up and installed XP on the
second computer and all is well. In this situation it is not necessary to have the guest account enabled on etither computer. All I had to do was run the home network wiz on each, in both cases specifying that neither machine connects to the Internet. It is also necessary that a user have identical credentials on each machine to access the other. I am next going to try the ICS setup and see how that goes.
