You'll want to create an account (in User Manager) on the Windows NT
machine(s) with the username and password that you use to logon to the other
Win9x machine(s) with. Then you'll need to share out the resource(s) with
permissions for those users. Also make sure they're all part of the same
workgroup. Then you'll no longer be prompted for the IPC$ password
(Inter-process communication)

In a peer level workgroup, when you try to access resources on a Windows NT
machine, Windows NT needs to authenticate the user. If the user account
doesn't exist in it's local account database, then access will be denied.
