Anthony,
Did you Download and install the Windows 2003 Server Resource Kit Tools from
<http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=4544> before doing the ntrights
processes?

Did you enable the File and Printer Sharing exception in Windows Firewall?

Check for a browser conflict too. The Microsoft Browstat program will show us
what browsers (I'm not talking about Internet Explorer here) you have in your
domain / workgroup, at any time.
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=188305

You can download Browstat from either:
<http://www.dynawell.com/reskit/microsoft/win2000/browstat.zip>
<http://rescomp.stanford.edu/staff/manual/rcc/tools/browstat.zip>

Browstat is very small (40K), and needs no install. Just unzip the downloaded
file, copy browstat.exe to any folder in the Path, and run it from a command
window, by "browstat status". Make sure all computers list the same master
browser.

For more information about the browser subsystem (very intricate), see:
