In my 2k professional I can see my windows 98's file by 'run \\98win\C$'. From my windows 98 when I try 'run \\2kprof\C$' it wont let me connect to 2k professional and ask for password for 2kprof, but I didn't set up any password for 2k professional. Windows 98 PC and 2000 Professional are connected through hub. Please help, Thanks.

98 unable to share file with 2k professional

C$ is a hidden share, it is only for login information, create another share (C). Log into your w98 machine using windows networking client, and a password... then on your w2k pro (I am assuming), have a user there with the same name.. when the person connects, they will be asked for a password, type in their password. Then everything should work.
