i am having trouble connecting to a computer on my small scale network (3 pc's), when i click to connect the computer (which has win 2000) from my machine (which has win 98 OS) it asks for a password with resource \\machine1\ipc$.... is ipc$ a standard account as i didnt set this up, can i remove the password request somewhere, cos the password is unknown

any help greatly appreciated

IPC$, c$ d$ , are adminitrative shares. Windows configures them at the beginning of the installation.
check microsoft technet to configure that

Here's a solution:

machine1: Windows 2000
machine2: Windows 98

1. machine1: create a new user (let's suppose 'user' with password 'pass')

2. machine1: create a share for your directory (let's say 'C:\') and grant access privileges for that directory to 'user'

3. machine2: on windows 98 startup login as 'user' with password 'pass'

Now you can access directory 'C:\' on machine1 from machine2.
