Win2K Plain Text Passwords

[Tim.Brennan at coat.com]

Ok, seems I jumped the gun and asked for help a little too soon.

After searching through the registry, I stumbled upon the key (it
was already there), and just had to set the value.

The key exists in HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet\Services\lanmanworkstation\paramaters
and there is an entry enableplaintextpassword (no CAPS).  Default value
is 0.  Switch it to 1, reboot, and you can connect.

If anyone knows of a better/different way, I'd like to hear about it.

Thanks.
