    I have added a machine running W2K to my peer to peer network of WIN98 machines. I can access all the WIN98 machines from the new but not the W2K machine from any of the WIN98 machines. I can see it under Network Nieghbourhood but when I click on it I get a message box saying that it is logging onto '\\machinename\IPC$' and requires a password, which isn't set as far as I am aware. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong, please ?

    You need to goto the win 2K machine and assign a user account for the 98 machine to use.
