VERY URGENT - NETBEUI on 2003 srv

I have a small network with a single DC.I have justreplaced my win2000 server
with Server 2003, and I absolutely need to connect 3 old computers running
Win95 with NETBEUI protocol. No way to update operating system or to install
tcp/ip.
I have installed NETBEUI protocol on 2003 server (used netbeui files and
procedure from Windows XP cd) and now the win95 clients can see the server,
but cannot logon. Here the facts:

1- if I try to join the domain using an existing user and the correct
password, I get error "wrong password or no authentication server available"
2- if I try to join the domain using a wrong user, I get error "the username
doesn't exist" (so it seems that the clients is able to reach the server...)
3- if I start win95 without joining the domain, then I can succesfully map a
network drive from the command prompt with net use........ but when I try to
browse the mapped drive from windows explorer I get error "access not
allowed".
4- On the server, I've tried to enable netbios over tcp/ip, I tried to give
everyone (not only domain users, but everyone) full control on the shared
drives, but nothing changes.
Before, when the server was a win2000 server, no problems with the
connections of that 3 clients.
Can anyone help me ? Is very very urgent

Thank You
Marco

The second item in the liberal creed, after self-righteousness, is
unaccountability. Liberals have invented whole college majors - psychology,
sociology, women's studies - to prove that nothing is anybody's fault. No
one is fond of taking responsibility for his actions, but consider how much
you'd have to hate free will to come up with a political platform that
advocates killing unborn babies but not convicted murderers. A callous
pragmatist might favor abortion and capital punishment. A devout Christian
would sanction neither. But it takes years of therapy to arrive at the
liberal view.

Why do you feel you need to use NETBEUI? Why would you need to upgrade
anything to use TCP/IP? W95 has TCP/IP support as standard.

AFAIK, NetBEUI is unsupported after NT 4.0
