Windows 2003 Share Permissions on 2000 and 2003

I have a file (a Crystal report) in a share that I want to access from
an app
installed on computers that are on a different domain from the server
on which the
share exists. There is no trust set up between the two
domains. Previously this file was held on a Windows 2000 server and I
had no problems accessing it. Now the file is located on a Windows
2003 server and I can no longer access it. The share permissions are
the same on the new server as they were on the old one and I realise
that the Everyone token is no longer handed out to anonymous logons
anymore by default in 2003 so I enabled the default domain controller
policy setting to allow everyone permissions to apply to anonymous
users. I've also added the anonymous and everyone security groups to
the the pre-windows 2000 compatible security group but I still can't
access the file.
Is there a limitation in 2003 that also says the anonymous user
access
request must come from the same domain as the domain on which the
resource being requested exists? If so can someone confirm that this
never used to be the case on 2000 and also help me find a way to
access this file?
