Are you running a domain or a workgroup?

Workgroup: You have to create a password for the NT box to use to connect to the share.

Domain: Before you share the folder on W98, be sure to set MS File and Print sharing to "User Level Access" (vs."Share Level Access"). Also be sure to make the PC part of the domain (by setting the "workgroup" to the domain name). And be sure you are logging in to the Domain (three line logon prompt - user, password, domain) on the PC.

To trouble shoot, on the PC use "net view \\" from the DOS command prompt. If you see the shares on the server, you are in the domain. If you get an access error, you need to debug your logon.

The Win2000 computer needs the login and password and access rights of the Win98 user in order to share anything with that win98 user.

In win2000 --> Control Panel --> Users and Passwords --> Add
