I wasn't sure which section to post this under, as the problem is experienced from Windows 98. I have tried many times to access my NT4 machine from my Windows 98 machine, but I always get "You must supply a password to make this connection". I type in the administrator password for the NT machine and it tells me the password is incorrect. I went into Remote Access in NT and tried to set the NT machine as a remote access server in case that was the cause of the problem, but it gave me an error saying the service title was invalid. I then went into Users & Groups, but I see no way of adding remote users. What I want to do is add the NT machine's printer onto the 98 machine as a network printer, but until I can get round this password problem on Windows 98 I can't.

Tommy.

create a user account in NT and set a password. Logon to 98 with that account and passwd.

share the printer with no restrictions.

That should be all there is too it. Undo the RAS setup as it may interfer.
