98 trying to access 2000/XP workgroup
I have also been struggling with this problem for several weeks and no
matter what I did I still was asked for a password from the W98 machine even though the XP machines were fine and they saw the 98 machine (I am networking 2 XPProfessional and 1 W98 machines). However, I have at last resolved it - I had two accounts on each of my XP machines, and obviously their account names were different, BUT their passwords were the same (yes my wife and I used the same passwords for each of out accounts). I tried to think of why XP was unsure of MY account name and password that I had replicated on the W98 machine and decided that maybe it didn't like the fact that the password was the same for two accounts on the XP machines. I was right - on changing MY password on both the XP machines and the 98 machine suddenly all was well and I am seeing files between all machines! I hope this may help your problem - regards, Rob "Joe" wrote in message ... I have tried both of those suggestions and still receive a password prompt when trying to go forn the 98 to the shares on the XP's. Any other suggestion? |
