When you try to access a win2k or XP machine from 95 or 98.... it only comes up with one password line.... where on the usual 2k or XP or even 98 it asks you for a username and password. How do I get into my machine (98 >> 2k) from the 98 machine?

thanks :)

I believe you need to make a user on the 2K machine with the same name/password as the 9x machine.

Just a password? Hmmm.

Sukhoi is right, you'll need to create a user on the 2k machine that has the name of your 98 machine. It sounds like you might already have done this. (Control Panel -> Users...) You can then specify passwords and set options (like Password Never Expires) depending on your security issues. If you're having trouble, try deleting the 98 machine name from the Users group and re-adding it.
