Found the answer
I found the answer to my own question on a Microsoft Windows 2000 newsgroup.

Setup a user on the Windows 9x machine with a password.
Setup a new user on the W2K machine with the exact same user name and password. Onward and upward.

I think what you should do is to add a user account with everyone access right (other access rights is based on your dicesion)on the win2000 computer, by doing this you can access the shared folders and directories on the Win2000 computer from the Win98 computer.

Best wishes

try checking your password on your 2000 windows you may have given it the wrong password and disable win configuration under your tcp/ip properties
