Cannot Share files from win2000 to win98&XP

Postby ymarc » Mon 05 Jul, 2004 1:14 am

Good day!

I have problem accessing shared files from a win2000 machine in our network. Our small network is composed of two (2) win98, 1 xp and one win2000. the three machines (the 2 win98and xp)sees each other and can share files between themselves. its only the win2000 machine that is not accessible from all the other. The win 2000 by the way, can access files from the three computers.

whenever we try to access the win2000 machine, heres the error message
Resource: \\computer name\IPC$

please help us!

thank you very much

hey. this is a shot in the dark, but maybe windows 2000 isn't completely compatable. My friend was having simulair problems. But they should be compatible though.... Theres a good chance it won't jive with XP. I have ran into that a few times, but it should go with 98 okay. Hope that answers some of ur questions. sorry i'm not much help otherwise.
Anyone correct me if i'm wrong?
