I have a Windows 98 machine and a 2000 machine. When I am on 98 trying to access 2000 files over the file sharing network, I am given a prompt for a password for the share IPC$.

I did some Googling, and it seems that the username and password on the 98 machine must be identical to a u/p pair on the 2000 machine for the prompt to go away. Am I right or what's up?
