getting a request for network password which there is none.
No problem in the reverse access

THEN PASSWORD BOX TO FILL IN
my xp has me in the users group without a pw.

Run the Network Setup Wizard on the XP machine -- that's usually all
that's needed to remove the IPC$ prompt. Don't run the Wizard on Win
98, even if it tells you to.

If that doesn't solve the problem, type this line at the XP command
prompt to make sure that the Guest account is enabled for network
access:

net user guest /active:yes

If that doesn't do it, remove any network password from the Guest
account:

1. Click Start | Run.
2. Type "control userpasswords2" in the box and click OK:
3. Click Guest.
4. Click Reset Password.
5. Click OK without entering a new password.
