If you don't have a domain in either location you will not be
able to get this to work. You cannot browse remote workgroups
without the presence of a DMB or domain master browser. The
PDC or PDC emulator (W2k or higher) by default is always the
DMB which is responsible for querying remote segments to get
their local browse list.

Having said all that if you have a domain in place attempt to map
to a share from the remote location to the W2k3 server and vice
versa. If the drive map fails post the exact error.
