I have the following strange phenomenon and hope somebody
will be able to help me out.
I have a small company network running on 2000 server.
1 domain. One of the clients (win 2K sp4)is able to see
the shared company folders on the server however it is not
able to browse the network. When trying to do so a message
is posted "network not started or not available
(translation from dutch)".
In effect he can open documents on the server alter them
and save but a "save as" won't work because the network
can not be reached.
All the company software on the server works normally on
the client.
Anybody familiar with this problem ??

Thanks for you help !
 
Hi Henri,

How many nics in the server?
Does the ipconfig/all from the clients show that everything is pointing to
your server-IP?

Hello Marina,

thanks for responding
Every setting on the client looks OK.
server has only one nic and ipconfig /all on that client
looks ok.
When looking with net view all computers in network are
visible in windows can't open the net work on that same
client.

regards

Henri
