    Problem may be related to group policy security settings. On your
domain controller check out local security policy for "effective settings".
Under security settings/user rights check to see if everyone is allowed to
access computer from network - I believe that is necessary for downlevel
clients. Under /security options make sure additional restrictions for
anonoymous is NOT set to no access without explicit permissions (do not
allow enumeration of sam account and shares should work fine). For lan
manager authentication level - it needs to be set for send lm and ntlm for
downlevel clients that do not have Active Directory client installed.
Digitally sign client communications and digitally sign server
communications always needs to be disabled also for downlevel clients. If
any of these need to be changed it would be best to do at the domain
controller security policy. Changes will not take effect right away and a
reboot will speed it up. Supposedly running secedit /refreshpolicy
machine_policy /enforce at the command prompt should update right away also,
but my experience is a reboot works faster. I am not sure why a reboot
cleared up your problems and how long that helps, but I thought I would give
you a list of things to check out. -- Steve
