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? -- Elvart |

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. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.
