Problems seeing shared folders

I am running W2K server, and 2 XP clients. I have shares
on the server, and was able to see them in the XP network
places. What happened is that I set up some user
accounts for each user on the server, and when connecting
to the shared drive the first time, entered the new
account name/password, so I wouldn't have to reconnect
each time the admin password expires. Now, I am unable
to connect to the shared drives, or even see the file
server in the network places on the XP machines. What
could have happened to cause this? I can't share files
or access the shared printer anymore.

Thanks,
Steve
 
Are the xp's joined to the domain? Are the xp's loggin in with a valid
username?
 
Its just a simple 'workgroup' domain, and previously all
XP machines could see the server.

Yes, valid username and passwords are being used. I
would think that if a invalid username was attempted, it
wouldn't accept it. The 2000 server does (or did) when I
could see the shared drives.
