You don't say what the other machine is running. I'm assuming Win95 or
Win98. The userid and password you log on to your Win machine must match an
existing userid and password on the Linux box. Plus, you'll need to make
the following change to your Win Registry if you're running Win95b or Win98.
The following isn't mine. I stripped it off the net somewhere and it worked
perfectly for me:
1) Launch the Registry Editor as follows:
Click on: /Start/Run
Type "regedit" and press enter.
2) Double click on: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
3) Locate the following Key:
/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/VxD/VNETSUP
4) From the menu bar select Edit/New/DWORD Value
5) Rename the entry from "New Value #1" to:
EnablePlainTextPassword
6) Press Enter, then double click on the new entry.
A dialog box will pop up and enable you to set a value.
You must set this value to 1.
