The two biggest problems with downlevel clients are the security options for
lan manager authentication level and digitally signing of communications.
More than likely the problem is that the Windows 2003 server requires
digitally signing of communications. You can use Local Security Policy
[secpol.msc] and find the security option for Microsoft network
server:digitally sign communications:always and set it to disabled or enable
SMB signing via a registry mod on the Windows 2003 Server. The link below
may help even though it discusses domain logon, but it shows how to enable
NTLMv2 and SMB signing on Windows 98 computers. Beyond that enabling netmon
on the server where access is being denied and doing a packet trace of the
access attempt may be helpful. --- Steve
