User logs successfully into Win 95 PC with domain account. However cannot access file or printer share resources on the W2003 server. Can browse network neighborhood resources and see the server, but not drill down to shared printers. Also have not been able to get "net use k: \\servername\sharename" or "net use lpt1: \\servername\printername" to work. Even replacing the servername with the IP address does not work either although I can ping the server by name or IP address. Win2K and up clients can connect just fine.

Short of replacing my remaining W95 PCs, anyone know what I'm missing? thanks, Russell
 
try \\ip_address\sharename maybe it's name resolution hiccup.
 
Are you receiving an error message? This also could be a SMB signing issue and also LM NTLM authentication issue.
