i have set up a 98 computer on a network with two 2k computers. from the 98 one, i can see the other computers on the network, but when i try to select on and give the password, it rejects it. it does not give me the option of entering the username, just password. i think this is the problem. anyone know about this?
 
Try adding user accounts for the 98 machind on the two 2000 machines.

I hope this helps.

not sure what you mean. how do you add a user account?
 
On the Win2K machines go to Start...Settings...Control Panel...User Manager

Add the user name and password for the 98 machine, and give appropriate access. That should allow the 98 system to access the shares on the 2K computers.
