Hi,
The link provided gives the correct procedure of how to resolve this. I am
including the answer here as well with a description of why this is
happening.
Problem:
IPC$ is a share to which Windows machines connect to access the list of
shared resources (like \\server), and when connecting to another machine
via the SMB protocol.
When you attempt access from the Windows9x machine, you are sending your
credentials to the Windows2000 machine on the connection to IPC$. Since
the Windows2000 computer does not have a user account that matches the
credentials you are sending it prompts you for the password. Since this is
IPC$ it does not prompt you with username/password fields - only password,
and unless you are using the correct username with the incorrect password,
this will never work.
Resolution:
Login to the Win98/98/ME box with a username/password that matches exactly
with a user account on the Windows2000 machine. This is the point that the
administrator needs to determine if there is an existing account or one
needs to be created at the Windows2000 machine.
Windows2000/XP: Creating a user account on a standalone(workgroup)
Windows2000 machine:
1. Right click "My Computer" / Manage
OR
1. Control panel / Administrative Tools... / Computer Managment
2. Local Users and Computers
3. Users
4. Right click / New User...
5. Type the new user's username in the "Username" field, and fill in the
"Full Name" field.
6. Type the password in the "Password" and "Confirm Password" fields.
7. Uncheck "User must change password at next logon"
Win98/98/ME:
After the steps of creating a new user, logon to the Windows 98/98/ME
machine with the newly created username and password.
Thanks!

P.S.
If you'd like to add a user account to a Windows2000 domain I've included
these steps as well.
Windows2000/XP: Creating a user account in a Windows2000 domain:
1. Control panel / Administrative Tools...
2. Active Directory Users and Computers
3. Users
4. Right click / New / User
5. Type the new user's First name, Initials, Last name
6. Type the new username in the "User logon name"
7. Click Next
8. Type the new password in the "Password" and "Confirm Password" fields.
9. Uncheck "User must change password at next logon"
