I have a wireless laptop running XP home and a wired
Desktop running 98SE. The are networked through a
Microsoft MN 500.

When I open my Network Places on the XP machine I can
access all the network folders no problem. But when I try
and access the laptop from the 98 machine I get a window
that asks for a password. I type passwords related to the
network and my logon and nothing works.

MY XP share selections are both checked and the 98
machines sharing selections are Full. I know there is
some password setting somewhere that I haven't found. Any
help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
 
You need to have your user name and password the same on
both machines. Use the network login function on the XP
machine, if you are not already. XP sets up a Computer
Administrator when you install it. I will be easiest to
change your Win 98 Login suername and password to the
same ones as your XP Computer Administrator account and
enable Windows Networking on the Win 98 machine.
