Chances are you didn't uncomment encrypt passwords in smb.conf  and/or add 
the Win2k user to smbpasswd.

I have a page, designed for Linux newbies--I make NO guarantee about its 
security, I only use it on occasion on a home network behind a firewall.
You can ignore the stuff about ipchains and tables, as that's Linux 
specific, but the other stuff might be of some use.  (It also has a link to 
the online O'Reilly Book)
It also gives a bit more explanation of how to add the user to smbpasswd, etc.
