Software / Networking 2 windows xp

I just found this site and am really impressed! So many potential solutions! Thank you all!
I'm experiencing a similar problem on a larger scale. For the past four years I've been running a Domain network that includes one NT4 Server (no service packs), 32 W2K Pro workstations, and 8 W98 workstations.
I'm in the process of replacing the entire network with 2 Dell Proliant 150s running Windows Server 2003 SP1 and 40 Dell Dimension 3000 workstations running WinXP SP2, all using the original Domain name.
I've reached the stage where I'm currently running the two new servers, two of the new workstations, and the forty old workstations. The old NT4 server is completely off line (there was no transition period - I just unplugged the NT4 and plugged-in the WS03s) and the servers are running in 2003 native mode.
The two new workstations access the servers perfectly. But the old workstations are almost all experiencing the "Network Path Not Found" error. They can ping the servers. They can see them and their shared folders. But they can't access those folders.
I'm thinking the problem is SID related somehow but I haven't found it yet. I'm going to try several of the ideas I found here and keep working on the SID angle too.
I'll post the results as I git 'em.
