Setting Up W2000 on peer to peer network

Hi,
I built a system running W2K. I wanted to set it up on a peer to peer network with two other systems, one a ME Laptop and one a 95 desktop. The problem I ran into is when I try and access the 2000 server machine it denies me access even though I set no passwords. Wwhat I would like is a walk through of the setup from the reinstall to the network settings. please be as detail;ed as you can. I have looked for the resource material and tried to learn the information. My customer is just a little pissed right now and I need to try and set this up again on Thursday.
Thanks
