Windows XP Pro on a Windows Advanced Server 2000 using a Roaming P

I have spent many weeks trying to get this to work, but for some reason I can
map drives from the XP machine to the rest of the network. None of the other
machines on the network can map any XP drives. I figure I'm missing
something fairly basic, but I can't see it. The roaming profile that is setup
on the 2000 Server is working fine on the WinNT4.0 machine, but I want to get
rid of it and use the XP machine with the same profile. I've spent 2 days on
the Knowledge Base with no success. Any assistance would be very much
appreciated. I don't normally log onto the net from home too often (it costs
too much), so a direct email would be good if that's possible, I can check it
at school. My email addy is (e-mail address removed)

Added Information: The WinXP Firewall is turned off, The Win2000AdvServer
is the Domain Controller, The WinNT4.0 Desktop is working fine and has been
for many years. I want to get the WinXP machine to use the existing Roaming
Profile so that I can then strip the WinNT 4.0 machine for spare parts.
Amongst the roaming profile files is the MS Outlook *.pst & *.pab files I
wish to use on the new machine. Please help, my head is almost bald from
pulling my hair out :)
