I did not have the ambigious "Microsoft Network" password for the Win98 machine,
but that is no bother. You hit "cancel" at the login screen, and it just lets you
in. (I had always assumed that those credentials were merely a placebo for Win98
users and had no effective use.) So, I hit "cancel" and was dumped into the desktop.
I had already created the wide-open share on the XP box and both computers were connected
to the LAN. I ran \\computername and was given a password prompt to access the XP
machine &mdash "you need a password to access \\computername\ipc$". No, not a username
and password prompt; rather, just a password prompt with no discernable username
associated with it. I left it blank and hit "okay" (fully expecting that to work).
It did not work.So could you give me the solution for that
