vozice_09 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Please help me. In our network we have new W2k3 server with few shared directories (stations works without logging into domain). WXP and W2K are ok, but from windows 98 SE nSP I cant acces shared disks. I try install DSclient, upgrade root cerfiticates, enable NTLM2,... but still cant acces share... On server I have user with the same username and password as at w98 station... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glocK_94 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Dumb question: are your disks in FAT32?If they are NTFS disks, you won't see them from 98 unless you use third-party software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oioldman Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 is the 98PC added to the domain, (so you can see domain name at logon)? if not, can you install the ad bi so that it attaches to domain?been a while, but i thought it asked for username & password for authentication?

utw-Mephisto Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Create a user on the server 2003 with the same credentials like you use to login on Windows 98 ...(including password) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soporific Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 The name of the shared directory cannot be more then 12 characters. Try sharing a folder with no spaces and less than 8 characters and if that doesn't work, i'm stumped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amocanu Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 (edited) i just ran the Network Setup Wizard on the win 2003 server, i enabled file sharing and after that any workstation with win9x, 2000, xp or linux(with samba) was able to acces the shared resources....there was no need to create new user accounts, i just kept the names of the shared resources under 12 characters in order to keep them compatible with all the win9x workstations....that was all i did for my network.....
