You can enable the guest account on the W2K computer which normally I don't recommend
except for networks where all users are trusted and the network is protected from the
internet by a firewall. That will allow everyone/anyone access to shares that have
everyone permissions including ntfs permissions. You can use lusrmgr.msc in the run
box to open Local Users and Groups. Then go to users/guest - open the account and
uncheck disabled. --- Steve
