rhylos 0 Posted September 5, 2002 I cannot figure out how to get XP Pro to dial into a Win98 dialup Server. I can dial in an connect via two 98 boxes by just entering a password. After connecting I can browse the 98 dialup servers shared directories. However, I cannot get passed the user name password authentication screen when trying to connect from an XP pro machine. The error message is invalid username password. I have reset both and tried again but no luck. Anyone have the same issue or recommendations on a fix? Share this post Link to post

rhylos 0 Posted September 6, 2002 Yes I lnow why win98. Simply, money and because I have to. Yes, I have used no username and just the password, but that didn't work either for XP. The shares are not a problem. It the dial up authentication that is. Like when one logs into Prodigy or something. Share this post Link to post

rhylos 0 Posted September 6, 2002 Thanks for the reply but using guest as the username when connecting from XP to 98 failed to logon, also. More tips are welcome! Share this post Link to post
