I upgraded from windows 2000 server to 2003 server. The new security policies etc seem so complex, I dont know where to start! I cannot see the server's shared directories across my wireless network now and I dont know what I need to change to make them accessible - any ideas?

The setup's pretty simple once you've done a couple of hundred of them. It can be a bit trying if you do it rarely.
There are a dozen things that could be causing the problem, anything from improper IP subnetting or security/firewall issues to new domain problems. To answer your question well, I need more information.
1. What is the OS (2003 standard, enterprise or small business server)?
2. Is the server a domain controller? If so, did you try to give it the same domain name as your previous domain? If not, is it part of an existing domain or do you have a workgroup?
3. What is the server's IP address vs. the IP addresses of the other computers on your network?
4. Did you make any changes to the default security policies?
5. Do you have any third-party firewall/antivirus programs running on the server?
6. Are you running ISA (it would be an add-on or as a part of small business server premium).
7. Are there any "intelligent" devices between the server and your workstations (such as a router or intelligent hub/switch)?
E-mail me with this information and we should have you up and running in a few minutes
