I have an etherent network with multiple systems all set up to boot multiple operating systems (OS/2, WFWG, Win 95, Linux) and am trying to add Windows NT workstation. I am running peer-to-peer and can inter-operate fine except for one problem. I can not access the disks on the Win NT system from any of the others although I can access any of the others from the Win NT system. If I reboot the system running Win NT under a different operating system, I can access it's files without any problem. I assume I do not have the access ermissions set up correctly but can not determine what I need to do. Can anyone give me some help with this?

For the Linux and OS/2, I not sure, but listen to the Win9X solution, and it may point you in the right direction.

First off, you can only access a share on an NT system, if the UserID and password match from both NT and Win9X. So go into the User manager in NT, and create a new account. Call it "Test" (Without the quotes). Make the Password "test" (All lowercase and without the quotes). Go over to the Win9X box and log on as Test with test as the password. You should now be able to access the NT box. But don't forget to first turn on the shares, otherwise you won't be able to see much.
