    Post 98 sees the share,but can't access it

    Hey, i've got a small LAN at home. I have 2 win98 pc's and 1 win 2000. They all see each other and i can access the drive from the 2000 machine to the 98 pc. BUT I can't access the 2000 machine from the win 98 pc's. it always asks me for a password. i can see the drive,but when i click it, asks for a password. when i check the 2000 machine. i have the permissions set for 'everyone' and 'full control'. any idea?
    I think the problem is either an ID10T or PEBCAK error

    On the Windows 2000 machine you need to go into local users and groups and enable the guest account,then you shouldnt have any problems.
