The problem is when I try to use a win95 computer to acces shares on a Win2000 computer in a Workgroup. I recieve a dialog box that asks for the password of the IPC$. How do I fix this so that I can access the Win2000 Computers Shares.

Create user account on win2000 ? same as on Win95 (user name and password). Change permissions on the share, to let this person access it.

Answer 1 is correct about creating the account on the Win2K machine. The problem with workgrouping Win2K machines is that every person who wants to access a resource on a Win2K machine must have an account on that machine.Lets say you have 10 computers. 5 Win98 and 5 Win2K in a workgroup. You'll have to create a total of 25 accounts so that your Win98 users will be able to access the Win2k Machines
