Anyone Help With Win2k/98SE Issue?

I cannot seem to get Win2k Professional (running as a server) to want to share hardrives with a computer I have on the network running Win98SE. It's a dual boot setup, and when I boot with 2k, I can access drives on the server over the network, but if I boot up to Win98, I cannot access any drives on the network, keeps giving me an Invalid Password error, and does NOT want to let me in, perhaps one of you guys can help me out with this one??? Thanks in advance if you can.

 
This one is pretty common. Enable the guest account on the 2000 box for a temporary fix (Start>Settings>Control Panel>Users and Passwords. Click on the Advanced tab, then Advanced button then the Users folder. From there you can see the guest account). The short answer is that windows 2000 has no idea who your windows98 box is when you request a file from there. It then tries to hit your guest account. Leaving it disabled is probably best. For the best solution you want to create an additional user account on your 2000 box that has the same username and password as your windows 98 box. That way when you make a file transfer request it will authenticate properly.
