wink2k shared drive access from win98

[RabeaticSquirrel]

Whenever i try to access a share on my win2k box from my win 98 box I can't. It asks me to authen. with a default access name and password. How do would I set access up on the 2k box for a 98 client?

Did you ever create a user for yourself on your 2K (other than the default Administrator?) If not, create one, give it a password, and then use that from your 98 to authenticate for use of the share.

but when I try and access the drive it shows a default access name. That is I can't type a different user in. Are you saying login to the win98 box with the same w2k login name (that beyond the admin) or authen. with the alternate user? IF the latter, how do I set it up so that I can access from other than the default name?

You will have to "log on" to the 98 box with the user name and password that you set up in W2K.

Steps:

1. Create user in W2k and give it a password
2. In 98 ensure that the log on under Network Neighborhood properties is set to Client for MS networks
3. Log off the system (Win 98)
4. Log on- you will need to input the user name and password and like all 9X OSs you will need to provide the Password everytime that you log on.

5. you should now have W2K access.
