Hi, I have got a Win2000 server on LAN which is a standalone computer. I need to map a network drive from win98 to win2000. I have got some data on win2000 which needs to be accessed on win98. When ever i try to access shares on win2000 server from windows 98 it asks me password for IPC$$. I cannot get through even if i type in the administrator password for win2000. What can i do to access resources on win2000 from windows 98. Please let me know.

Kind regards.

two of your computers should be in same workgroup/domain. means if u have domain join both in domain. loginto domain using Admin Account or any other accountand access drives by $share or normal share. if No domain make both in same workgroup and login in both computers in admin account and access 2k pro in 98 like START-> RUN->\\computerNameorIP\Drive$...ok this will work.
