[thelist] file-sharing from Win98 to Win2000

Sun Oct 14 15:07:03 CDT 2001

Hi,
I was wondering, does anyone know what has to be set to allow Win98 to
access shared folders on a win2000 machine?
Currently a passwordbox with the machinename already filled and grayed out
pops up, and any passwords I type in are not accepted.
Security is not important in this case (personal network).

Thanks,
Richard.

<tip type=doctype>
Mozilla, Netscape 6.x  IE5/Mac and IE6 PC have what is called a "quirks"
mode, this makes them less strict, and a bit more backwards-compatible.

The developer can activate the "quirks" mode by either leaving out the
doctype all-together, or leaving out the url in it, like this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

If the developer uses the full doctype like this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd">

the above browsers operate in "strict" mode, which might give some
unexpected layout results.
