Randy:

There is one thing that can be done create a user account on each workgroup
machine with the name username and password as the Domain user. The reason
this is occurring is that the Domain users are trying to connect with their
domain username and password. Since those computers that are not in the
domain know nothing of the Domain accounts it prompts for some other account
to connect as. If the username and password were all the same, something
known as pass-through authentication would allow the users to connect to the
resources.
Good luck,
Alan
