Networking gurus - I also need some help!

Not wanting to hijack gr8fl4porsche's earlier thread......

I have 4 machines on a home network with modem and network printer on machine1. Machines1 - 3 are Win2K, but machine4 is WinME (sigh, I know, but it hangs when I try to install W2K, maybe hardware issues), all fresh installations. The three W2K machines are able to network print and internet connect, I can also browse all shared drives just fine. Machine4 (with WinME), however, asks for a password for \\machine1\ipc$ whenever I try to connect to a shared drive or print to the network printer. It "sees" the other machines in network neighborhood, but cannot connect without asking for this dang password. I tried every password of every user/administrator on all machines but no dice. Is the problem on machine1 or machine4?

All machines are virus free according to Trend Micro.

Any advice, please?
