Networking problems and passwords???
I have 3 PC's linked together with a Belkin Router, with
Broadband access to all the PC's that works fine. 1 PC is XP Pro, 1 XP home and 1 is Win 98. the XP PC's can "see" the 98 PC and have full access to the fiels and printers. the XP PC's however do not see each other, I have ensured that the ICF (firewall) seeting are disabled. each PC has the same login and password for each user. The Win 98 PC, whe attempting to access the XP PC's is asked for a password??, no user password is accepted Any suggestions would be gratefully received jon |

After that, XP Home should allow access by 98 with no prompt. If you've disabled "simple file sharing" on XP Professional, it will check the logged-in user name on Win 98. In that case, create a user account on XP Pro with the same user name and password that you use to log into 98. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.

Networking problems and passwords???

I have run the Wizard and now have access between the "XP Home" PC and the "Win 98" PC, but I am still unable to get access to the "XP Pro" PC.

That will re-set the share permissions and should solve the problem. If it doesn't, take a look at this site: Windows XP Professional File Sharing http://www.practicallynetworked.com/...ring/index.htm It has a detailed description of the two types of permissions used in XPPro: network permissions, and NTFS file system permissions. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.
