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.
Ed,
Did you Disable the Browse Master on the Windows 98 computer? That's the first
step.
