It seems the problem was that we had an NT server in one
Domain and our Windows 2000 server in another domain.
Since they did not have a trust, it was focing us to
supply it with a valid username and password. We moved
the Windows 2000 server into the domain where the NT
server was and it corrected the problem. So what I gather
from this is that we do not need seperate licenses.

 Thanks for anyone who tried to help.
