I'm not a networking guru by any means, but I have run into similar problems authenticating from Macs to Windows and Unix servers. In those cases when I had trouble, I used the short account name to authenticate. Is "student" the long and short name? If the short name is different, try logging in with that. If encryption is specified in the login box, I'd try turning it off too.
Oh, and are you using Apple filesharing or SMB?
