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?

Try enabling the Guest user in the server by mean of the User Manager.
Log on from the Win 95 workstations with a user name not defined on the
server.
And now?

Set up an account on the NT workstation.  When you log into you Windows 95
machine use that username in the login box.  When you connect to NT it is
asking for the password for the username that you used when you first
started 95.
