Hi Ian,
Not sure if my observation help you here, but it sounded very similar to a
problem I encoutered when I tried to set up a mixed network of WinNT and Win95
PCs recently.. I suspect that's were the problems lays i.e. the mix[?] of
version of Windows you are running on your network, rather than the fact that
you are running a Libretto. I have found that:
1. Shared Access of a Disk held on a Win95 machine is not granted if the other
PC is running WinNT. I get the same prompt as you for a username/password which
is always incorrect.
2. A WinNT machine can only share a disk on another WinNT machine if both use
identical username and passwords (at least that was the only way I could get it
to work - and my knowledge of networked PCs is _very_ limited)
3. A Win95 machine can access a shared WinNT disk IF both account names and
passwords on both machines are the same i.e. if you login as Administrator on
both machines with the same password you will be able to mount and subsequently
access the WinNT disk on the Win95 machine, but even then you cannot mount a
Win95 disk on the WinNT disk.... at least I haven't been able to find a way
around this.
Hope my ramblings aren't too confusing. If you find a solution please let me
know too. Sorry, can't help with the colour display..
Good luck
Anke

Subject: Win2k on 50CT
For those on the list who have installed win2k on their 50ct and lived to tell
about it <g> could you please let me have your comments on my 2 main
problems....
I recently installed win2k over a fresh win95 factory installation (from a disk
image i kept) and everything went well. I then inserted my xircom 10base T
ethernet card and it was installed without any intervention from me--i was
impressed. Even more so when i was immediately able to access other computers on
my network. However the problem i've been having is that the other systems
cannot access the 50ct! Attempts to access the 50ct from other systems spawn a
password prompt and regardless of what i type the password is always 'incorrect'
despite my having no restrictions on disk access to the 50ct. Any pointers on
what i may have overlooked?
Also, my display is set to 16 colours (SVGA monitor) and i've found no way to
fix this. Any tips on what should be done here? And finally, i didn't get chance
to check the floppy disk drive (but did see a ? mark next to it in the device
manager i believe). Are there any special drivers needed here also?
Thanks for any help...
Regards,
Ian...
