Password Request

calberts73 · 10-08-2004, 09:47 PM

hey guys,

I am trying to access a shared folder on a windows 2003 server with a windows 98 client. When I try to access the server I get prompted to give a password. I tried entering the administrator's password with no avail. I am working with windows 2000 pro and windows XP machines and they are able to access with no problems it is just the windows 98 machines I am having a problem with. Can somebody tell me if it is an authentication problem or what I need to do in order for me to access with a 98 machine?

Establish a user account on the server with the same name/password as is used to login to Microsoft Networking on the W98 machine. This will bypass the password prompt.
