Windows 2003 SBE server and MAC OS 10.2.8 G5 computer not connecting?

I have just installed a windows 2003 sbe server and have multiple Windows XP and windows 2000 workstations logged on to the Server with shares. I have installed the Client for Macintosh and appletalk protocol on the server and I always get the error -5002 or -5023 when I attempt to connect to the server via the MAC. I can ping and see the server(which is the Primary Domain controller) but the MAC refuses to log on and access the MAC shares that I have created. I'm no MAC expert but I am qualified with windows so I'm struggling to comprehend this. I normally use the MAC with the <Apple>+<K> command to open the network viewer, I then browse for the Domain,then I select the server and attempt to connect with both smb:// and afp:// and I just get that error! Can anybody help as I think the problem lies more with the server?

it does ask for a username and password but not even the administrator username and password work!

the username and passwords we tried are each only 4 characters each! Any other ideas?

The owner of the MAC just found your answer before I referred back to experts-exchange speyfisher. You get the points. *****
