XP Home not allowing users to acces Server

[becface]

Hi all and thank you in advance for any help you might provide.

I have a few users in my office using XP Home SP2. Our server (Win
2000) has permissions set to EVERYONE for a certain folder where
everyone in our office has full access. When the Home users try to open
the folder (it's mapped as drive G it does not allow them and I have
to enter administrator with the admin password to get them onto it. Can
anyone tell me what I need to do? I have tried the "logon as a
different user" option to no avail, too.

I'm hoping I can get this to work b/c I am tired of getting called to
these folks desks everyday, though it is a good way to stay social

Thanks again,
J
