Connecting XP to Win2000 computer

Guest

I had 2 XP laptops connected to a Win98 Computer and everything worked fine.
Everyone could access everyone else. I changed the Win98 computer to a
Win2000 computer and the Win 2000 computer can access the XP's, but the XP's
can't access the 2000. Asks for ID and password and I have added the ID to
the 2000 computer. I am using blank passwords on every machine. Any
suggestions?

It is not recommended to use the blank password. Or you may enable guest account if the security is not issue.
