Create a user with identical username/password on both computers. Log into
the win98 computer with that user account. Win2k shares will then be
visible.

If you are on a system where you don't care about the password
protection you could:
right click my computer, left click manage, left click the plus sign
for local users and groups, left click users, go to the right pane and
right click guest, left click properties remove the check mark from
the box next to account is disabled, click apply.
Now anyone on your network can get into and see anything shared on the
Win2000 computer.
