You need to create a user account on the 2000 machine for the 98 PC. Use the exact same username/password combo used to log onto he 98 PC at bootup to create the account. Once you've done that, you'll be able to connect without being prompted for a password.

You have to add that username to the file and share permissions. Disable the Guest account. It's a security hole.
