David,

What version of Windows XP? Home? Pro?

Not enough server storage:

To access a Win2K computer, you need to login with an account / password
identical to one setup on the Win2K computer.

If XP Pro, check to see if Simple File Sharing (Control Panel - Folder Options -
View - Advanced settings) is enabled or disabled. With XP Pro, you need to have
the SFS settings the same on each computer.

If SFS is disabled, check the Local Security Policy (Control Panel -
Administrative Tools). Under Local Policies - Security Options, look at
"Network access: Sharing and security model", and ensure it's set to "Classic -
local users authenticate as themselves".

If you set the Local Security Policy to "Guest only", make sure that the Guest
account is enabled on the Win2K computer, and has an identical, non-blank,
password on all computers. If "Classic", setup and use a common account with
identical, non-blank, password on all computers.

And please don't contribute to the spread of email address mining viruses.
Learn to munge your email address properly, to keep yourself a bit safer when
posting to open forums. Protect yourself and the rest of the internet - never
post your address unmunged.
