Null session support

I have an service that runs as the administrator account in a Windows
2000 domain. This application connects to other servers in the domain
and generates statistics based on information stored in text files on
each server; I generally just give it the UNC path and it can access
each server without a problem.

I now need this application to collect the same information from a
standalone Windows Server 2003 box. Since it is outside of the domain,
I thought enabling null session support
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft.com:80/support/kb/articles/Q289/6/55.ASP&NoWebContent=1)
on the 2003 box would do the trick, but I can't seem to get it to
work.

Anyone know how I can bypass all authentication, or if there is an
easy way to get the domain server to login to the standalone 2003 box?

Thanks,

Matt
