Right, but I think Andrew was talking about a more general case.

In this case, the example you gave did *not* make an anonymous connection 
to the LMB.  You used the Administrator account.  Try "guest" or just 
leave it blank.

In any case, if there is a bug talking to W2K from smbd in HEAD then this 
same problem could impact the situtation you're describing.
