I am Getting an IPC$ request for Password from My WinME Machine when
trying to access my Win XP Machine.
If this is not right Group can anyone redirect me.
I cannot accces my WIN XP Machine from my Other machines.
One is WINME the other two are Win98SE machines using 3C450 NIC's
I am using a 5 PORT Hub that came with my Original Home Network setup
using all 3C450's
I have been trying to hook in my two other machines.
The WinME Machine can see the W98SE ones OK but having problem seeing the XP
Is there a way to bypass the IPC$ connection and get the Shared C: drive
on the XP to be seen on the Network.
I used to be able to see it but Now even that is gone
Played around with reconfiguring the XP and now my Other machines can't
see the XP
The other Machines are using MICROSOFT Client for Windows with no
Password just a "return"
"HELP"
