Hi guys,

I have successfully set up ICS between my work laptop running Win2K and my home pc which runs Windows 98SE. However my problem lies with accessing files from the 2000 machine. I can't do it because it's looking for a password. I can easily access all my files on the 98 machine but I know because of some security feature in Win 2k it won't let me access files on the other machine. Any ideas on how to get around this would be appreciated.

Thanks,

John

you may need to create a user account for the username on the 98 machine, on the 2k machine so you can log on.

If all else fails, theres always NetBUI!
