Re: Win95 demands password :(

["BobR" <bobrabcd@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Anyone know how to configure passwords on a 3 computer LAN workgroup?  One
machine has W2000, the second has W98 and the third has W95.  All have
LinkSystem NIC cards and a 4 port hub.  The Windows Explorers on each
machine see the directories on the other machines but only the W2000 machine
can do the copy and paste or file transfer between machines because a
password is requested.

Thanks,
bob
