Sharing Troubles

by john . Updated 25 years, 3 months ago

Because of the requirements of a single software program, I recently upgraded from Win98 to Win2000 Pro.

Now it seems that even with the sharing of printers and files set, the Win98 machines on our small (peer to peer) network can not access either the files or the printer on the 2000 machine.

It keeps asking them for passwords, and I can not find anywhere in the 2000 machine to set up passwords like it was on the Win98 boxes.

We’re talking a home based network here with four computers, and no server. Its strictly a peer to peer set up and it worked just fine before the upgrade.

Any one have any thoughts on fixing this?
