w/o AD ur 2K server is configured as a stand-alone server. in order for u to access any resource on that server, u must create user accounts that matches the local logon names of ur users in their stations.

it's very easy and straightforward. right-click the My Computer icon on ur desktop and select Manage. On the following screen (MMC-Computer Management (local)), select Local Users and Groups under System Tools. Right-click on the Users folder and select New User. Fill-in all necessary details and that's it.

HI!

To select username for the ME workstations, simply LOG-OFF or better configure "Client for Microsoft" as the primary logon in Network Properties.

Another option is to enable the "Guest" account on the server.
This allows access with no username/password, but is therefor not recommended because of security risk.
