This is a problem I have had.  Try mapping witn \\ip-addy\share-name.  
If it works, then I think that it's a dns thing, i.e., the W2K machine 
doesnot have the netbios name of the samba machine in DNS.  You might 
also try making nmbd a master browser for netbios, then put

option netbios-name-servers   [samba-ip-addy]

and see if that helps.  I suspect a proper DNS entry on the W2K server 
would solve the problem however.
