as server wich have win2000 professional OS. I don't want any user name or
password on any system. Can anyone help me

How are you trying to connect from Win98SE to Win2000? What exactly
happens when you do it? If there's an error message or a logon
prompt, what does it say?

Win2000 always checks the user name and password of the logged-in user
on another computer that requests access. It isn't possible to run
Win2000 without a user name, although the password can be blank.

Creating a user account on Win2000 with the same user name and
password that you use to log into Win98SE could fix the problem.
