XP computers not available through Ghost or SPManager

[hrjjohn]

I have a 30 computer AD domain with 5 XP Pro boxes, none running SP2 yet. I have 2 programs that need to access them: SPManager to push updates to them and Symantec's Ghost Solution Suite so I can create and restore images. I can see the NT40 and the W2000 boxes but the XP's are "access denied" or failed to connect, etc. I have FULL administrator rights on the W2003 server & XP Pro that is hosting both programs and F/P sharing is checked. I use static IP addresses and can ping and command line into the boxes from my administrator's login.
HELP!!

can you access the admin shares by unc path?

Absolutely!
That is what seems strange, everything seems accessable but still I cannot connect with ServicePack Manager2000

I don't know SPM2000 but it does sound like an issue regarding that third party program.

Most use SUS (M$)
