Okay, see attachment. Please remember, this is not a live network it is
just experimental as yet.

Couldn't agree more. However, this is a test situation for me to learn
only. No users will be on this 6 station mixed platform network. I just
wanted to understand the problem more, I wouldn't see it as a solution.

If I'm honest and give it my guess, I don't really think the problem is a
password one. The reason I say that is because I have a public share with
no username or password associated with it. The Acorn machine will connect
without a problem, the W98 machines keep insisting they require a
password. Clearly they don't and I don't understand.

You're right of course but as I say, no users, just a learning situation.
If I can get all the problems solved (long long way to go yet) then I we
should be able to offer management an alternative to Microsoft but not yet.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,

Bob.
