To connect to any Windows NT machine (workstation or server) from a Windows
95 machine running the Client for Microsoft Networks, you must have logged
onto the Windows 95 client machine with a username and password which is
valid for the NT machine.

In other words: go to the NT workstation, and open the User Manager (from
the Administrative Tools (common) group in the Start menu).  Create a new
user with the same username with which you will log onto the Windows 95
machine.  Set the password for that user to the password with which you
will log onto the windows 95 machine.  Close the User Manager.  Go back to
the Windows 95 machine, logout the current session, and logon with the
username & password you just created on the target NT machine.

If you change your password, you will need to change it on the NT
workstation as well, or you will lose access to the shared resource.

This is Microsoft's idea of a pretty good way of doing things...  Bah.
