ipc$ password

need help in resolving something that should have been
simple to do. Have small workgroup that has one printer
attached to xp pro machine. trying to get 98 machine to
use printer. I have done the sharing on the xp, but when
I try to setup a network printer on the 98 (\\??
\printer). it ask for a password with (\\xp\ipc$), also
if i try to log into a another machine that is a 2000 pro
I get the same thing as asking for IPC$ password. If any
anwsers would be greatly helpful. I feel that the problem
looks like it is in the 98's.

Add the Win98 logon name and password to the Win2000 user list and
grant appropriate permissions.

With Win2000, all usersthat access shares or printers either locally
or across the network must be explicitly denined in the user list.

Good luck...

Same problem here. I've tried everything I can think of
including removing and reinstalling the client.
Also looking for a solution. I am beginning to think this
is a common, but difficult problem!

I SOLVED this getting from W98 to my W2000 machine by
following Knowledge Base Article No. 258938 and working on
the 2000 machine...
Good Luck!

Hi Cheryl,

Here are the steps to resolve and a description of what is occurring.

Problem:
Prompted for password for the IPC$ share when connecting to a
Windows2000 machine
in a workgroup.

Description:
All Windows clients (Win95/98/ME/2k/XP/2003 will be unable to access any
shares on the target machine because they are sending their logged on user
credentials and these credentials do not exist on the target machine.

If an account does not exist on the target machine you will be prompted
for IPC$ password. Once prompted for a password on the connection to IPC$,
no
password will work (unless the original username exists on the target
machine and
the logged on user entered the incorrect password on the client. This is a
rare scenario
but that's why it prompts.)

Resolution:
Login to the Win98/98/ME box with a username/password that matches exactly
with a user account on the Windows2000 machine. This is the point that the
administrator needs to determine if there is an existing account or one
needs to be created at the Windows2000 machine.
(Note: It is possible to enable the Guest account, but this is a security
risk and should not be done.)

Windows2000/XP: Creating a user account on a standalone(workgroup)
Windows2000 machine:
1. Right click "My Computer" / Manage
OR
1. Control panel / Administrative Tools... / Computer Managment
2. Local Users and Computers
3. Users
4. Right click / New User...
5. Type the new user's username in the "Username" field, and fill in the
"Full Name" field.
6. Type the password in the "Password" and "Confirm Password" fields.
7. Uncheck "User must change password at next logon"

Win98/98/ME:
After the steps of creating a new user, logon to the Windows 98/98/ME
machine with the newly created username and password.

Also:
If you'd like to add a user account to a Windows2000 domain I've included
these steps as well.
Windows2000: Creating a user account in a Windows2000 domain (on a
Windows2000 Domain Controller):
1. Control panel / Administrative Tools...
2. Active Directory Users and Computers
3. Users
4. Right click / New / User
5. Type the new user's First name, Initials, Last name
6. Type the new username in the "User logon name"
7. Click Next
8. Type the new password in the "Password" and "Confirm Password" fields.
9. Uncheck "User must change password at next logon"
