Thanks for the tips.
I'm now having another problem. My Win 98 machine shows the WinNT machine
in the Network Neighborhood. However, when I click on the WinNT machine it
asks me for a password. I tried changing the password in the user manager
but it's not letting me. It keeps defaulting to a 14 digit password and it
won't change.
I even tried to set up a new user in the user manager and it keeps going
back to a 14 digit password.
Please help.
Thanks,
Danny

Assign
