Accessing SBS 2003 Shares with XP Home

From an XP Home PC, I can access shares on a SBS 2003 server by "connecting
using a different user name" and using the corresponding username/password
of the Admin account that was assigned to that share. Note that this Admin
account is the same Admin account that was originally set up upon first
installing SBS 2003.

However, if I set up a regular User account or even a new Admin account on
the server and make corresponding shares, I cannot access any of these
shares from XP Home using the same method as previously described.

As a side note, I don't have any issues connecting to shares with any of
these accounts when logged in through an XP Home VPN.

1. How can I connect to SBS 2003 user shares from XP Home with a regular
User account? Are there any configuration changes that can be made to
policies, group settings, user settings, etc.?

2. Why can I connect to the "original Admin" shares and not to any "new
Admin" shares from XP Home? What is the difference in this scenario?

3. Does SBS 2003 have a "simple file sharing" option similar to that found
in XP Pro?

4. What effect would changing the WORKGROUP name of the XP Home PC to match
the DOMAIN name of the server? I read somewhere that this may help some
issues, but it was unclear as to what it might help.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
