Sharing Drives on Win2K

Hello All:
I am trying bring up my home network but am having a hard time sharing drives.
Example, I am sharing my C: drive. I go to my drive and click "properties" and
then "sharing". It comes up with "C$" as the shared name, I then say "full" access
(I am the administrator). When I then try to access this drive from another PC I
get a "password required" message, but I did not set a password so I am stuck.
What am I doing wrong on setting up this shared drive?
Thanks.

You need to set up a user on the computer that is sharing. Then when you want to
connect use that username and password. Be sure to give the user proper permissions
for the share.

I set up a network ID, is this not a "user"? I have a Win 98 PC in this network
as well and all I do for this is share the drive and then when I try to access it
from another PC I go after it using the networkid. Is Win2K different?
