Sorry about that Andy,
Here's the bulk of the article for you:
*** Problem Description ***
Customer may have a W2K server that can be accessed by another W2K machine but when
you try to map a drive to it from an NT 4.0 machine you receive access denied or
you can map to the share but when you do a dir you receive access denied.
*** Resolution ***
Customer may of applied an IIS security template that by default turns off LM and
NTLM authentication and sets other security limatations that will not allow down
level clients to access the W2K machine.
These are the settings that may affect access to the W2K machine and if you get the
template from the customer it can be loaded in the Security Configuration and
Analysis snap-in and reviewed.
Under Local Policies - Security Options: Digitally Sign Client Communication
(always) - change to 'Disabled'
LAN Manager Authentication Level - set to "Send LM & NTLM responses"
Secure Channel: Digitally encrypt secure channel data (always) - set to Disabled
Secure Channel: Digitally sign secure channel data (when possible) - set to Disabled
Digitally Sign Client Communication (When possible) - Set to enabled - leave it enabled
Secure Channel: Digitally encrypt secure channel data (When Possible) - leave it enabled
Digitally Sign Client Communication (When Possible] - leave it enabled
