Networking Win XP, 2000, ME and 98

[JOHN '']

I am trying to network my computers and have been
sucessful until I added the Win 2000 unit to the network.

I started from the XP machine, set up the network using
the wizard, saved the settings to a floppy and proceeded
to Network the balance of the computers, the 2000 first,
then the ME and then the 98.

My XP computer sees the entire network (after I logon and
enter the user ID and password) (all the shared files) and
can print on its local printer or the printer attached to
the Win 2000 machine.
My Win 2000 computer can see the entire network, can see
all of the shared files on all the machines and can print
on its local printer as well as the one on the XP machine.

The Windows ME Machine can see everything except the Win
2000 machine. I get a pop up asking for a User name and a
Login. I have used the 2000 user name as well as login
and it does not allow access to the machine. It comes
back as an invalid logon. I can print on the XP machine
but not on the 2000 machine.

The Windows 98 Machine sees all of the Shared files on all
of the machines except the Windows 2000 machine. Although
it does see the printer that is on the Windows 2000
machine and it can print on it as well.

Should I set up my network again starting from the Win
2000 machine? Will this resolve the conflicts???

Create the same account (username and password) on the ME and 98 computers
that exists on the win2000 computer. Log into the ME and Win98 computers
using that username and password.
