I cannot access Win 2k Pro machine from ME machine

[Guest_imported]

I have a small home network with 3 machines, a win 2k pro which is the main one that is connected to a dsl router and sharing an internet connection to a win ME machine and a 98 machine which works fine. All can see the others and 2k can access all shared drives on other machines, but ME and 98 machines cannot access shared drives because it keeps asking for a IPC$ password, when i never set a password for any shared drive. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!

You need to set up accounts on the Win2K machine for the Win98 machine and the ME machine. The Win2K machine does not recognize the user name because there is no account for it set up. Once you set up accounts for the 2 machines you should be fine. James Collins
