98 client's anonymous login

[kclark]

On our peer-to-peer network, our 98 boxes used to be
required to offer a valid username/pw to access resources
on our Win2K Pro box. Since we upgraded the 2KPro box to
XP Pro, the 98 clients can access its resources using
fictitious credentials during their login.

Any ideas how to prevent this??

Tx.
