Conecting to Windows 2003 Server via DOS Network Client Diskettes

I recently built a Windows 2003 server which is acting as my domain
controller (in Native mode). The problem I'm having is when I try to connect
to a share on this server using my ghost disk (using the DOS Network Client)
I constantly receive "Access is Denied" errors. A friend of mine told me
that Win2003 is too secure and that's what's causing the problem. Is this
true? Does anyone have a fix? Thanks.

what it costs when it's free.

The default security settings will prevent DOS (and a lot of other
"downlevel" clients) from accessing a 2003 server. The most likely cause is
the setting "digitally sign communications always". DOS can't do this.

You need to change security settings. See:

I'm using the DOS driver to connect an old 286 I have, and it works fine.
