club_ice 0 Posted July 29, 2001 I am having trouble allowing someone with a Win98 computer login into my Win2000 computer. I wish to transfer files using a Parallel cable hooked to LPT1, can someone walk me through the process, I have tried several possible solutions like setting up a guest account, a power user account, but every time he connects I get an unauthenticated user trying to connect and he can't get to the files. I have made sure that the IPX protocol is there and all the settings are correct. I have to use Win98 to transfer files but then my PC becomes unusable because of 98's slow and pokey networking capabilities. Share this post Link to post

In this case, whatever your friend is using as UN and pass. Create a power user or admin on your machine (w2k) Then go and share whatever you wanna share, and make sure group/user you just created is listed in the permissions sections to be allowed to read or full control.
