Testing an XP SP2 system in a workgroup with a Server 2003 SP1. I can ping
the server, and and map a drive from the server to the desktop, but not from
the desktop to the server. Thinking its an authentication issue. Have
identicle accounts setup on both systems. Any ideas?
 
what do you receive if using net view \\serverip command on the XP computer?

try mapping from the command line...
net use * \\servername\share /user:username password
