When accessing the win2k server from win98 user it asks for admin password. 1st I've tried the admin password with no access, 2nd Can I set up a seperate password for that user to access the server so not to user the admin password. There are users and passwords currently in use, but will not work from the win 98 unit.

Some info that is basic, but often overlooked. First thing is first, check the case of the password, is the caps lock key on, or was it when the password was set up. I know it is stupid to ask but is often a solution. Generally if a server is askng for the administraive password it is once and to add the computer to the domain. To check this go into network properties and check the properties of the Client. Then the other times a server may ask for a pass word is that you are trying to access a resource that does not know you. That is when you first log onto the 98 machine, that username. If it does not know that username it may or may not ask for a password. If it does aslk for the password, it will link that password with the username used at logon. I hope this helps.

Create an account on the Win2K server that has the same username and password as the name used to logon to the Win98 station.
