View Full Version : Printer sharing between WinXP and 98

I have a network setup at home and am setup in a
workgroup scenario and can't seem to get my win98 machine
to see my 2 shared printers on my XP machine. Whenever I
try to get connected to my XP machine it always asks for
my IPC$ password. I don't have a clue as to what that is
and have never set it up. Well I know it is a default
admin share of some kind, but what I am trying to connect
to is the printer$ shares.

It's not a print sharing problem, it's a networking problem. You do not
have your network correctly configured....

See

or

if you're using XP Pro.
