You're gonna love this one, found the solution:
we had the same IPC$ problem with W98SE laptops trying to open a share on a 2000
memberserver in a NT4 domain. The laptops are not a member of the domain but since
they logon to Windows only (not network) with the same username and password as in
the domain they can still open networkshares, except the ones on W2K servers.
Open the network control panel, open the properties for "Client for Microsoft networks"
(yes I know, you use Windows logon but you still have to edit this), uncheck "logon
to Windows NT domain" (if not already unchecked) but you have to put the right domain
name in the blank field. Weird since you uncheck "logon to NT domain" but it still
uses the domain name for logon. It worked for us though!
Much better than making useraccounts on W2K machines or enabling the guest account.
Good luck!
