I am setting up a LAN runnin Win NT on one PC and Win ME on the other. I can access the files of the ME computer on the workstation but when i try to access files or the network printer on the workstation with ME i get an box asking for a network password to access the //(smt)/IPC$. I don't know where to reset this password and trying the admin password doesn't work. Please help!
 
Did you enable the guest account on the NT machine?
 
Probably, when you booted up WinME, it asks you to log in. This username is passed to the NT server to be validated to access its resources. If the username doesnt exist on the NT server, then you will never get acces, it will just always give you that box.

Add the user to the system, and then whatever password you assign to the user should work.
