Sharing Files from Windows 2000 to Windows 98

I have a network that has several machines operating
Windows 2000 and Windows 98. We share all have share files
that people can access inorder to share their work with
others in the office. Those on Windows 2000 have no
trouble sharing between other Windows 2000 machines the
same with Windows 98 have no trouble shareing files with
other Windows 98. However We cannot share files between
Windows 2000 and Windows 98. We can access the share file
from the Windows 98 machine but when you put the password
in to open the file it tells us access denied. Now on
Windows 2000 you have to enter your name and password. On
Windows 98 their is no where to enter the name only the
password. Does anyone know what has to be done to allow us
to enter the password from the Wins 98 machine so that we
can gain access to the share file. Can anyone help out.

I have the exact same problem... please if you find an
answer email it to me, or post it here! thanks in advance

On the Win2000 box, add the logon name and password from the Win98
computer to the user list and grant appropriate permissions.

Each user that accesses a Win2000 system, either locally or across the
network, must be explicitly defined in the Win2000 user list.

Good Luck...
