[fastvideo]

one of my overclocked computer doesn't want to work with win2k, but it runs everything in win98, the rest of my other 3 are ok. the win98 system can't access files and printer sharing on my network. i can see all computers in the network but don't know why it ask for a password. i have no password setup on all units. any help???

In order to get access to the W2K machine, there needs to be a user in W2K's list of users, with the same name and password as the Win98 machines.

You say that you have problems with your O/C machine. W2K is in general more picky when it comes to O/C'ing. But what problems do you excactly have?

i click on my network icon of my win98 system, i can see all the computer name, then i click on the computer with win2k os, a enter password box come out, "you must supply a password to this connection. resources:\\home-950\ipc$. password box on the buttom. ok or cancel."
and that system there is no password asign on it.

IPC$ is the default adminstrative share. Create a new share for your c drive on your win2k machine. You will then need to make an account on win2k which matches the login account you use for win98. You dont have to put a password in, but whatever you use, make sure it matches the password on win98. Then you wont get login and password prompts anymore.
