Some help from a NT-newbie...

I sometimes have the same problem, and to me it seems that it's a
problem of
the difference in security for both systems: W95 being password based
and
NT being permission based. When I'm logged in on the W95 machines as a
user that is already 
defined on the NT machine AND that has already logged on for at least
one
time on this NT, I have (so far) no problems. However in the other case,
a 
password is asked for the $IPC directory. So try to keep your user
definitions
consistent (so no Bill on the NT and Gates for the W95 when dealing with
the
same user).

Or perhaps it's a problem of sharing.

Something else on security: if for instance you know there exists a user
Bill
on a NT machine with certain exclusive permissions on data directory's ,
isnt't it possible 
(and in fact very easy) to define the same user on a W95 (with your own
password
of course) and bypass the security of the NT in order to get access to
his data
on the NT machine?
