I've just added a new W2000 PC to a client's Peer to Peer Network.
I can now see and access everything I from this machine.

Problem is when any of the existing PCs (Win 95 & 98) tries to access the
new PC it asks for a password.
I've shared out the new PCs "C" drive and the printer - Everyone has full
permissions.

Any ideas?
Once I get a password there'll be no problem because I can just click
"save".
Ideally I'd like them to have access without a password but if I can enter
the password and save it - problem solved.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

You have to create a user on the W2K machine with the same login
credentials as on the W9x machines.

Sharing the full C: drive is not good practice. Better to create a
shared subdir and to use that to transfer files between the machines
