Sharing drives with a Windows 2000 machine

[Guest]

I have a home network with 2 machines - a Windows 98 machine and a Windows
2000 machine. I have set up shared drives on both boxes and each box can see
the other on the network. I can look at all shared drives on the 98 machine
from the 2000 machine.

However, when trying to look at drives on the 2000 ox I am asked for a
password.

On the Win2k machine create a user account with the same user name and
password used to log onto the Win98 machine.
