Subj : Networking with NT and Win 98

I have a LAN working with a NT 4.0 (SP6) machine and two Win 98 machines. 
Although the NT machine can see the Win 98 machines' shares quite well, and can 
map the drives to itself, I have trouble trying to get a logon from the Win 98 
machines to the NT machine. It seems the NT machine asks for a password for the 
IPC$ share, but I see no way to configure the password for this share, nor to 
set up an account on the NT machine that will allow NT to recognize connections 
from the Win 98 machines and give them access to this share. I find the NT user 
manager confusing and not very helpful.

All three machines have the same workgroup name. Would it solve the problem if 
I configed the Win 98 machines to log on using a NT domain? If I change over 
one of the current Win 98 machines to NT, how can I then make sure that the LAN 
connection will still work?
