IPC$ <- What is this?

[tonypt]

Hi all -

Here is my setup: I have a few NT workstations set up in a peer-to-peer network and when I try to log onto a machine from the network, it asks for a password of \\NT_MACHINENAME\IPC$.

Now I know that has something to do with either shared resource pipe or domains, but I don't think it's a domain issue since I can log onto 2 out of the 4 other NT machines without specifying a domain on those 2. Perhaps there is a sharing setting I'm missing or something. Can anyone help me out here?

This occurs when you are logged in as a user that does not have an account on the machine (or domain) that you are trying to acess resources from. In other words, you need to log in as an existing user, or add yourself as a user.
