Nagging "sign-in to network" password request

Hello All -

Is there a way to stop (or bypass) the 'Enter network password' dialog box from asking me for a password with MS Networking whenever the computer is booted/rebooted? This is only a 2-box network and we don't have or use passwords on either one. No gov't secrets here.

The computer that asks for the 'sign-in' is running Win98SE. The other one is running Win98 (upgraded from 95) and it never asks for anything.

As always, any help will be greatly appreciated.


Mike

 

Sure. this page may help to setup auto logon,

The simple way is to right click on Network Neighborhood, left click on Properties.

Then select "Windows Logon" in the drop-down list for "Primary Network Logon," click OK. It will require a reboot.

The logon password dialog box will appear one more time. Click OK...do not click Cancel or the X...and that's the last time you'll see the password prompt at boot.

 

Chicagotech - Thanks for the link. I book marked its "home" for future reference.

Miz - Thank you. That fixed it and I'm now a happy camper.
