You need to enable encrypted passwords in samba, then it should work, at least here it does.
For me, the other direction is not working (accessing a 2000 share from samba). Still haven't found anything to solve that.

Can't I Disable encrypted passwords in win2k insted of the samba server?

Should work too, if you know the registry path...
But why didn't you use encrypted passwords from the beginning on?

Registry Key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkStation\Param
eters
and go to Value Name: EnablePlainTextPassword
change it to 1, boot the system and that's it
it's working like a chaem

But what is easier - changing the registry on _all_ workstations or just making _one_ samba-server use encrypted passwords?
