Windows 98 & no password.

[Christopher R. Hertel]

Okay, I'm *guessing* at this point because I don't have a W98 box handy to 
test against.

First thing to check is the network configuration on the box.  What does 
it say about primary logon?  Is it Windows logon or Client for Microsoft 
Networks?

You can test this fairly easily, but I *think* that if it's set to 
"Windows logon" then the system will request a separate password when 
connecting to a share.
