First of all, what distro are you using? It looks like perhaps RedHat?
 
My Samba is real rusty but...
 
During the install of the distro, you intend to choose server or client?
 
Generally, you need to set up the system with the same username and password on all the OS' that you use (at least in the older distro versions). So, when it prompts you for a password, what happens when you type the password in for the system?
 
Windows 2000 machines also need encripted passwords enabled in Samba. See this article for a howto for RedHat.
 
I need to ask, any reason why you chose this distro and version, rather than a more recent one (which would be much easier to configure)?
