Well, what's it logged in as? By default I think it tries to use the 
currently logged in user credentials. If those have changed in some way, 
that might do it.

You might want to run the Microsoft baseline security tool on ALL the 
systems, as it'll give you a good idea of what is enabled/disabled including 
all the stupid hidden settings regarding filesharing and authentication.
