Disable Networking Password Prompt at Startup While on a Network

I have a Windows 98 SE computer connected to a network.
I gave it a username and a password at the beginning, so
I could logon to the network. However, it is the only
username and password that will be on this computer, and
I am tired of seeing the password prompt screen. I was
wondering if there is a way to make this screen go away,
but still be able to "save" the username and password. I
need to do this to get onto the network because it shares
a printer throughout the network.
