I'm trying to share a Win2000 computer with other
computers, Windows 98 variety. Both computers are
in the same workgroup. On the 2K machine, I clicked
that it's OK to Share a folder.
Other machines FIND the computer via it's IP address,
but they are asked for a Password when clicking on
the icon. It Wasn't password protected!!!
I've tried the admin password, user password used
for logging into the New CPU to no avail.
HELP!!!!!!!
 
Have you tried entering no password?
As I recall from way back when I used to use windows 98 I had the option to
enter a password when I created the share. This password had nothing to do
with user accounts or anything - it was just a simple security method to
keep casual snoops out of the share.
