IPC$ issues with Win 98 / ME VPN clients

by intel_lectual . Updated 24 years, 11 months ago

Here it goes:

We have recently run into an issue with our VPN connection: Everytime someone with a Win 9x / ME pc attempts to login via Microsoft NT 4.0 VPN, it authenticates just fine. When they try to access network resources on our file server, they get a mandatory login prompt for IPC$ (which is not changeable) and a blank password. If an incorrect password is entered, they cannot connect to any levels in the file server that their personal accounts and groups allow. I haven’t been able to find anything describing a situation such as this, or a potential fix. Any insight or ideas?

Oh, the kicker: I am running ME at home and previously had the same issues with Win 98. Now that I upgraded to ME, my problems went away, but others still have the same IPC$ issues…..
