I think the work stations at that time were indeed win2k, so I yes, I
think there you do have to disable encrypted passwords in the samba.conf
file.  Or see below.

I am not sure how to edit the Registry to enable encrypted
passwords there.  I once remember reading how you must find a certain
option in the registry, change its value to 1(?), and reboot Windows.

Sorry I can't be of more help.  Good luck though!
