samba - Mar 2002 - Samba as client, windows 200 pro as server of anonymous share

Hi,

This may look more like a question on how to configure my windows 2000 than
my samba but here I go:

I'm trying to access some shares on a windows 200o pro box from a linux
samba client. I want anybody to access the share from anywhere without a
password.

In the windows 2000 share I have set full control permissions for Everyone,
and also for the Guest user. The guest user has no password.

On the linux machine I try to connect with:

smbclient //win2000host/share -U guest

then when asked for the password i hit enter and I got a
"Anonymous login sucessful"message
but then i got "tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.)

When i connect as another user of the win2000 host i can connect by entering
the corresponding password. I created another user with no password and the
windows machine and it works, but im still wondering why it doesnt work with
the guest user.

Thank you

Guest doesn't happen to be disabled on the Win2000 machine, does it? 
That's the default.
