Network 2k to 2k without needing to login?

[GAlan]

I have a dual 550Mhz PIII Xeon with 2000 Advanced Server on it
and a 1.7Ghz Athlon XP (2200+) running 2000 Pro.

Somehow I got the two to network so I can access each from the
other without having to login. Happy fun joy joy. (And I don't
have them running 24/7 so it's not that they're always logged
into each other.)

But now whenever I'm working on another system, be it 9x, Me,
2k or XP, I have to activate the Guest account and login
from the third machine and if the third box is running 2K or
XP I have to activate the Guest account on there to access
it from my two boxes.

It's quite annoying.

How do I get things setup so I can just share and map/access
the shares like between boxes running 9x? If I can setup one 2K
box "open" so that I can just jack any other WinBox into the
LAN and access it, that'll be very nice.

Security here is NOT a problem, the annoyance factor of too
#@%$!%@# much security getting in the way is.

make sure that the win98 box has an account / username setup
exactly the same as the win2K box

I'd leave Guest disabled, and create login accounts & passwords identically
on all computers. Or have all users log in using the same credentials on all
computers if you really don't care about security. Or promote your server to
a domain controller and use centralized security.
