Okay.. Anonymous Sharing round 3

Hiya Folks,
   I hope some of you are enjoying a day off today.  Sadly, I am not. 
Here's the latest in the Anonymous Browsing saga.

As you will remember, I found a series of steps to activate anonymous 
browsing under WinXP.  All well and good.  NOW the problem is our lone 
Win2k workstation seems to refuse to supply anonymous credentials 
(a.k.a. blank username & password) in order to connect to said anonymous 
share (a couple printers).  Thing is, it seemed to work in the past, so 
I'm not sure what the difference is.

I figure I'll rectify the situation by installing Unix Print Services on 
both the XP host and the 2k client, but I'd like to know if anyone can 
tell me why 2k is not playing nice, while all the other XP workstations, 
and my Linux workstation, are "authenticating" perfectly.

Cheers,
~Brian
