I hvae three computers on a peer to peer. 2 run Win 98, the third Win 2000. The Win 2000 machine can access all shared drives and folders, no problem. The 2 Win 98 can see all the the network and can access each other. However whe attempting to access the Win 2000 machine I am prompted for a password. There are no user passwords assigned at this time. How do I access the Win 2000 machinw from Win 98 machin.

Thanks,
Martin Taylor

Answer one is correct as far as he went. On the 2000 computer add the two 98 computers as users. Use the name and password they type in to start up their computers and they will have assess to what ever rights you have given them in the defining them as users.
