i have a user who was recently upgraded from win98 to
win2k. she has a file on her pc that everyone accesses and
updates. everyone in the company now has win2k and can
access it no problem. one woman still has win98 and when i
try to access the shared file from her pc, it comes up w/
a window asking for a password, but there isn't one.
everyone is on the same workgroup, the file is set to
allow everone full access, etc.
this is when i try to create a shortcut to the file on the
win2k machine, or map a drive to the pc
any ideas?
also, when i try to map the drive to the pc, it's
"\\rebecca\c", but the box asking for the password
says "\\rebecca\icq$"
anyone know about this?
thanks!

Create a user account on the win2k with the identical username/password
used to log into the win98 computer.
