Whenever you receive "Enter network password. You must provide a password to make this connection." and "Resource: \\<computername>\ipc$", it is permission and workgroup issues.

This behavior can occur for any of the following reasons: 1) The Windows 9x computer is not a client of a domain environment but the Log On To Windows Domain option is enabled. 2) The user name and password you are using to log in to the Windows 9x are not contained in the local user accounts database of the Windows NT/2000/XP computer you are attempting to browse. 3) The Windows 9x host is configured with user-level authentication to a domain.

Resolutions: To resolve this issue, use the appropriate method:
1) Disable the Log On To Windows Domain Option.
2) Log on to the Windows 9x with the local user accounts database of the Windows NT/2000/XP computer you are attempting to browse.
3) Disable User-level Authentication on the Windows 9x.
