HELP!---Win98 Laptop asks for password when connecting to Win2k Computer...

[zsouthboy]

I have them talking to each other fine, internet connection sharing works, etc. but when I go to Network Neighborhood on the laptop, and double click "MAIN"(thats the Network ID of my win2k machine), it asks for a password. Nowhere in win2k have I set a password, and i've tried un-sharing and re-sharing again, to no avail.

BTW, the laptop asks for a password for "MAIN\IPC$", if that's any help at all. Also, I'm using DHCP for the laptop(to log on to the win2k machine so it can share internet).

HELP!!!!

I think you have to add the username/password of the 98 machine as a valid user in the Users and Passwords in the Control Panel of the 2k machine.
