I'm having the same exact problem networking Win 98 with XP. Both PCs worked
fine on the network for a year and then I started getting the message "Enter
Network Password. You must supply a password to make this connection.
Resource \\John\IPC$", and no password works. I made no changes or software
additions that I can think of to cause this. I've tried everything suggested
in this discussion thread, plus I've removed Norton Internet Security on both
machines and even reformatted the Win 98 hard drive and reinstalled Win 98.
A third machine (an XP) has no problem sharing the first XP machine's folders.
Both machines can ping each other. The network neighborhood on the Win 98
machine will not show the XP machine. I can search for the XP machine by
name and find it, but I get the message above when I try to connect.
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm having a problem networking a WinXP Media Center computer with an
older Win 98 SE machine.
Both computers connect to the Internet through a Router and a DSL modem
The XP computer has a shared printer attached, and some shared
directories.
Both machines can access the internet.
Both machines can see each other in the network neihborhood.
Both machines can ping each other.
The ICF is not running on the XP machine.
The XP Computer can see the shared folders on the Win 98 Computer.
When I try to explore or open the XP computer from the 98 network
neighborhood I get this Message:
Enter Network Password
You must supply a password to make this connection.
Resource \\John\IPC$
and a window to enter the password, John is the name of the XP machine.
I have tried the network password for the 98 machine but it didn't work,
I also tried the network password for the XP machine but that didn't
help either. As far as I know there were no other passwords specified
for this setup.
I am not very familiar with Win XP, and I am helping a friend with this
problem, I did not set up the XP machine but I was told no share
passwords were set up.
What could the problem be, and where should I look for this mysterious
password.
TIA.
