    A couple things to try. If their passwords changed make sure they are using
    the correct passwords, XP can save credentials in "stored credentials" and
    if persistent mapped drives use persistent credentials make sure they have
    the correct username/password. Have them try domainname\user name when they
    are prompted for credentials when trying to access to the server or for
    persistent credentials in a mapped drive. They could try to map a drive
    from the command line as in " net use * \\servername\share
    /u:domainname\user " after which they should be prompted for password. ---
