SMB share problems...

We have 30+ Server 2003 Enterprise machines, however one of the servers is giving me an issue (well call it Server1)

All XP clients can access every server via simple shares (\\server\c$), even Server1

All Servers can access XP clients via simple shares (\\client\c$)

Server1 can access every other 2003 Server, but no 2003 Servers can access Server1.

When connecting to Server1 from any 2003 Box, a bad username/password error is given.

This is using the same username/password that is successful from an XP machine. Any ideas?

I don't understand how one authentication is successful and the other fails, even though both are using the same credentials.

 
I did not thoroughly read through all that but it could be a networking problem.. are the servers in a different area on the network from everything else.. you might just have a firewall blocking the connection... try moving one of the computers that can not connect to a switch or router that is connected to a computer that can connect to server1
