When I do this, XP snickers at me (honest, I need to turn the volume
down), and then I get a message:
\\standalonereallyoldserver\sharename is not accessible. You might not
have the permissions to use this network resource. Contact the
administrator of this server to find out if you have permissions.
So I never even get to enter credentials.

Well, 'things are the way they are because they got that way'.
The standalone server was set up first, as a Web server to begin with,
and it has worked fine, other than the weekly reboot required, for my
purposes.
Then I build a second server for a file server (and domain controller)
the following year. Two separate boxes, two separate purposes, two
separate networks, two separate lines, etc.
When I moved the file server stuff off the PDC and onto Linux, now I had
a spare NT4 box, so I set it up as a Web server backup, just in case.
And it's been sitting there ever since.
I've pulled most of the stuff off the standalone box, but I'm not quite
done yet. If the W2K box had lasted three more months, I'd have
deepsized both NT4 boxes and never had this problem. Oh, for the want of
a nail...
