Hi all,

Greetings to everyone, I'm new here & I'm new as well in the IT industry. Recently I encountered some problem while I'm setting up a test environment, can anybody help me?

I've set up a simple network which consist of 8 computers of which 3 is Win XP, 3 is Win 98 & 2 is Win ME. They are all in the same subnet & workgroup.

There are some share folders in each computer, while I'm trying to access from Win XPs to the share folders on other OS there won't a problem, same goes to when I'm trying from the Win ME machines.

But when I try to access share folders on the Win XPs from the Win 98 machines, system would prompt me to enter password. Where as when I try to access to Win 98 & Win ME share folders from the Win 98 machine it won't prompt me to enter password. Why is that?

Can anybody help me? Thank you.

 
Regards,

Edwin
 

Many people set up their Windows 98 machines using Windows Logon and no password. Try get the user login & create same user login inside Windows XP, blank the password if your Wndows 98 PC don't have a password.

Password is important to prevent virus spreading.
