I have a Windows 98SE and Windows Vista Premium computer attached to a 2Wire wireless router with modem. The workgroup on all the computers have been changed to Homnet. The 98SE’s can see the Vista in the Network and the Vista can see the 98SE by computer name. When the Vista is asked to explore the 98SE’s shared files, there is a prompt for a user name and password. There is a password but no user name required for the 98SE. The 98’s firewall has been turned off. Can the Vista and 98SE be workgrouped? If so, how?
