Hey,

I have a home network with 4 PC's. One of them I cannot
connect to using UNC. I can ping its IP address and it is
found. When I ping using the name it cannot be found.
From this one (WIN 2000) computer I can access all
services but I cannot share its drive or map to another
drive in the network.

This may just be a quick work around but you can use the
IP of a system then the share when mapping. IE
\\10.10.x.x\Data and this whould get you in. This
obviously does need to be changed to your IP's and share
names though! It sounds like you either have WINS problems
or lookup type issues but the above should as I said get
you in.
 
Thanks for your help. I think it is a nameming problem as
well. For example if I run PC anyware it caanot find it
anymore either. Your quick fix gives me access but I have
to find an answer for this problem. Have a great evening.
