Browsing shares on a Windows 2000 machine

I've just recently installed Ubuntu (Warty), and I'm having networking
troubles.

Going to: 
   Computers -> 
   Network -> 
   Windows Network -> 
   workgroup (the name of the workgroup the W2K box is in) -> 
   BORG (the name of the machine)

I receive the following error message:

---
The folder contents could not be displayed.

You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "Windows
Network: borg".
---

I've set my Linux machine to be in the same workgroup.  Additionally,
there's a user on the W2K machine with the same username and password that I
use on the Linux machine in case it needs that.

This seems like one of those things that should "just work", but I must be
missing something.

Anyone have any ideas what that might be?

Thank you.
