win98 cannot get to vista but vista can "See" win98
When on my Win98 laptop I can See the vista PC on the network but when I
click on the vista PC (to get to the shared folders) I am asked for a password. I never set up any password on the vista machine. I also have an XP which can get to the shared folders of the Vista PC without having to supply a password. Any Help appreciated

Try just hitting the Enter key when asked for a password.

Any Help appreciated I'm sorry, but it isn't possible to access Vista's shared folders from Win98 (or 95 or Me). Vista only supports sharing with Windows 2000 and later versions. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Desktop Experience) Microsoft Most Valuable Professional Program http://mvp.support.microsoft.com
