Default Samba Problem

I have configured Samba sever and shares but when I tried to get share from Windows 98 , it shows" \\sam\IPC$ "and asks for password which I have never configured.

It is a hidden system share but i dont understand how to tackle it.

With regards,
Sam

Default

I had same problem I solved it as follows

First I added user to samba server called chiku using command
a) Add user to linux
adduser chiku
passwd chiku

b) Add user to samba
smbpasswd –a chiku

c) restart the samba

d) When login to windows 98 I put the username and password as follows

username: chiku
password: chiku’s password set on linux samba server

e) Now I can use it .. But I don’t know how it works may be some one on forum through some light
