¿Cómo conectar cliente Winxp con Windows 2003 Server?

necesito conectar 2 computadoras que tienen instalado windows xp hacia un servidor con windows 2003 server spk2, mi red es por grupo de trabajo, no tengo dominio alguno. he trabajado este tipo de red con windows 2000 y este me permite hacerlo, validando los usuarios en el apartado de usuarios y especificando el nombre y la contraseña. este proceso me permite en win2k compartir una carpeta y accesar ella desde el cliente validado. he seguido el mismo proceso en windows 2003 server, pero, cada vez que quiero ingresar mi recurso compartido, me dice que no puedo hacerlo que consulte con el administrador. ¿qué pasos me faltan para poder hacerlo? haz 2 usuarios en windows 2003, pc1 y pc2 cuando realices el mapeo, recuerda cuando te pida el usuario para conectar poner. \\hostname wind2k3\pc1  y de pass, la que hayas creado en el wi2k3 para ese usuario.
