hi, i setup a new network at a freinds today, i added a new server and 3 workstation machines too their already existing 6 machines... (2 of thiers were win98) all others are xp pro
now the server had 2 accounts
1. admin/password
2. user/password2
connecting too network shares was no problem at all for all the xp machines, but the win98 machines, when i tried too open up the Server in network connections, 98 asked for a password..
"too connect too network please enter password
//Server/IPC$"
it didnt want a username, just a password... i tried the 2 passwords from admin and user accounts on the server, but they didnt work. i dunno what the hell the IPC$ thing is about
when i first booted up onto these 2 win98 machines, they asked for a network login password, i just pressed ok with the password staying blank... because me or my freind didnt know it...
so this win98 networking password, how can i remove it, or change it?
(i would reformat the machine with winxp.. but theyre too slow)
any help mucho appreciated..
