Assign passwords to both systems.

Security on these to operating systems is very different. If you were using
to Win98 PC's you would be done already.
I got around this issue on my network by creating the same user login on all
of the PC's that needed to share with each other.

For example if PC#1 needed to share resources with PC#8 then I would setup a
user account like Name = USER1 password = mypassword on both PC#1 and also
on PC#8. The permissions for file access will be the same as the settings on
the PC that the file or resource is on.

Others may have other ways of doing this but this is the only way I was able
to get my network sharing without having to enter ID and password info all
of the time.

Note you can be logged in as anyone as long as the account exists this
should make it all work.

Please help



My Win 98SE Notebook is networked to a Win 2000Pro. When trying to access
the Win 2000 PC from the Win 98 Notebook I get a message "You must supply
a password to make this connection" with a space for a password input.

Both systems are using the same workgroup name "WORKGROUP)
I do not have any passwords for any of my systems. What should I do?

The Win 2000 group said is should post my problem here.
Hope you can help me
Thanks
