I am having trouble allowing someone with a Win98 computer login into my Win2000 computer. I wish to transfer files using a Parallel cable hooked to LPT1, can someone walk me through the process, I have tried several possible solutions like setting up a guest account, a power user account, but every time he connects I get an unauthenticated user trying to connect and he can't get to the files. I have made sure that the IPX protocol is there and all the settings are correct. I have to use Win98 to transfer files but then my PC becomes unusable because of 98's slow and pokey networking capabilities.

Install TCP/IP for better networking.
also you have to create a user with enough privilages to access anything on your machine.
In this case, whatever your friend is using as UN and pass. Create a power user or admin on your machine (w2k) Then go and share whatever you wanna share, and make sure group/user you just created is listed in the permissions sections to be allowed to read or full control.
