Set up a User account on the Win2K box using the computer name and password of the ME box. Then set your permissions when you share them.
OP
do i create account here? Control Panel -> Users and Passwords
Another method, which may be perfectly suitable for your two-machine LAN, assuming security is not an issue, is to goto Control Panel>Users & Passwords>Advanced>Advanced and click on Users in the left pane, right click on Guest>Properties, and uncheck the boxes, "User cannot change password," and "Account is Disabled."

i think i've set the account for my winme machine correctly...
but... i can get in win2000 computer in teh network neghborhood from WinME
machine, but i didn't see anything there, i've already set the printer to
share in Win2000, but still can't see it from WinME... how do i set the
security for the printer, in that tab, i saw Administrators, CREATOR OWNER,
Everyone, and Power Users, do i need to add that account in. i've set the
WinME account as a power user.

Sorry bud, by PPTP is not my strong suit. I am forwarding this thread to a web admin friend on mine who it just so happens to be working on a similar setup for his company. If he tells me anything, I will post it.
