I’ve got a network (TCP/IP) set up mostly with Windows 9x computers. Recently I upgraded a couple of the larger machines to Windows 2000 Professional. In doing this, I had to re-share the directories that were previously shared and am now facing a problem. When a Windows 9x computer tries to even view the shares listed under one of the Win2k computers, A prompt for password entry box appears, claiming a password is needed for the “\\COMPUTERNAME\IPC$” share. I’ve never seen this share, nor set it up. On the other Win2k machine, when trying to access the other Win2k machine, a prompt appears to access “\\COMPUTERNAME\” with both a user name and password entry field.
How can i make Win2kPro have anonymous network access to the shares thatwere previously shared (not needing a password or prompt of any sort) under Windows 9x??????
thanks
