My laptop (Win98) has been connected to my PC (W2K Professional) for some time. But the other day, I got a password prompt on my laptop when trying to print to my shared printer on the PC asking for the password for the IPC$ share. Looking through the help files I found that the share is used for a feature similar to named pipes and the output of one application can be used as the input for another, even on different machines. However, being a system share, there is no way to change the password to something I’ll know, or to find out what it currrently is. And I’m not even sure why all of a sudden I am being prompted for the password to complete the connection. I cannot remember what I have done differently (although, I seldom change anything on either machines). And I can also see each and every share on the laptop from the PC, however, I can make no network connection to the PC from the laptop. ANY IDEAS?
