I have a file sharing problem... I have win2k on my main system and I'm trying to file share with systems that run win me and 98. When I try to open the shared files the 98/me systems ask me for a password. I didn't assign a password, but I even try my administrative password and I still can't get through to the win2k system. can you help me?
 
This is probably due to Win9x not having the "connect as" feature. You could try creating the username that you use on the Win9x station, on the W2k station. Give that new user on the W2k station the appropriate rights to access the files and folders you want to share. That might resolve your problem. In a world without walls and fences, who needs Windows and Gates?
