I have a Win2K machine on an NT network. When I first installed this machine I was able to access a transfer directory from a Win98 machine. Now I am getting this message that says not accesable. I can go from the 2K box to the 98 box. Any ideas?

Thanks.

The Win98se user login and password must be in the Win2000 Control Panel --> Users and Passwords in order to access the folder on the Win2000 computer.

The user is in there, but I can't seem to verify the password. The message I keep geting is: The computer or sharename does not exist.

in order to access a folder on the win2k machine you have to be able to log in to its local security. if the specific user name and passoword from the 98 machine are not on the users list and the share on the 2000 machine allowed for that user the user will not be able to see the share or access it
