I haven't used Windows 98 since... well, 1998. All the 2000 and XP machines will mount the shared HD fine. Brings up the login/password dialog.

Windows 98, however, brings up a dialog but only has the password. Of course, just entering the passwod doesn't work.

How the hell do I access the volume, much less mount the drive if it only asks for a password?

I was thinking of enabling the Guest account on the server, but that seems like a real stupid thing to do.
