FileBrowser is freedownload or licensed.?
Technically the iPad won't see the 2003 machine without an App to assist.  What you may want to do (if allowed by the network security weenies) is install Dropbox on your local network PC and map a Dropbox folder to whereever your shared docs are.  Then install Dropbox on the iPad and you'll be able to instantly access the docs from anywhere.
It's not free but not expensive and you'll be hard pressed finding anything remotely similar that's free
