I have a peer-to-peer (P2P) environment, and the XP PC?s can navigate shares on the Win98 PC. When the Win98 PC tried to connect to the XP PC’s shares, an Enter Network Password dialog box opened and showed the message You must supply a password to make this connection: Resource: \\computername\IPC$, with a field to enter a password. As a test, I tried logging on to the Win98 PC as different users. The same dialog box opened each time I tried to connect to the XP PC’s shares. I have 3 XP PC?s. One of them I can access just fine, another I cannot access at all, and the last one only the built in renamed administrator account is allow to connect. I cannot create another new accounts either that work. The only tricky part, I am thinking is that I have NetBEUI installed on the XP machines also along with TCP/IP maybe this causing a prob. I don?t know. So far I have:
1. Made sure all user names a passwords match.
2. Set the sharing and security model to ?classic ? local users authenticate as themselves?
3. The LAN manager authentication level is set to an acceptable level
4. I have checked firewall settings
5. I can ping all computers
6. I have checked the net logon service
7. Reset the password in XP for the User
I just don?t get it because I have the same exact settings for all XP PC?s, they all worked at one time (I think), and I can connect to one of them, only with one user account on another, and not at all to another.
