We're racking our brains to think of something that's changed but really can't think of anything. It's a very odd error as the shared drive icon appears indicating everything is OK but you can't actually access the files on the shared drive.
It's very odd that the same user works from another machine, other than that it sounds like a problem with the smbpasswd > passwd mapping.
I assume you are not running Samba in DC mode ?
At the point of authentication is there anything funny appearing in Samba's logs (I am guessing that you don't see the actual failure but I am just wondering if there are any clues before that)
You could try turning off encrypted passwords on the 2k machine as a test (I am not suggesting you leave it like that). The best way to do this (a lot of people seem to resort to hacking about in the registry) is through Admin Tools, Local Security Policy, Security Settings, Local Policies, Security Options, Enable "Send unencrypted passwords to 3rd party SMB Servers"
