Networking XP machine to Win98
I am trying to share a printer that is connected to an XP
machine to a Win98 machine. I have enabled file and print sharing and I can see the XP machine from the Win98 machine. When I am at the Win98 machine and choose the XP machine, it asks for a password. I cannot find the password. I have activated the guest account and it has a blank password. |

Networking XP machine to Win98
quoted from http://www.ChicagoTech.net
Q: Win2k can access win98 but Win9x can't access win2000 I am trying to setup a network at home, I got two machines at home on one windows 98 and on the other hand is Windows 2000 professional, i can see each machine on both, but i can get into the windows 98 from windows 2000 pro but i can't get into the windows 2000 pro from win 98. its says "its not accessible" with the red cross on the message. A: Since your computers can see each other and win2000 can access win98, I am assuming that you have setup the same workgroup and protocol on the both machines. The problem is permission. You may have three options: 1) use the same logon id on the both machines, 2) create a id for win9x on win 2000, 3) enable guest account in win 2000 (it is risky). -- For more and other information, go to http://www.ChicagoTech.net Don't send e-mail or reply to me except you need consulting services.
