I have an end user who's trying to add a Windows Vista system to a Windows
2000 network. The new system is unable to access the Shares.

There's no LLTD Responder for Windows 2000.

But that's OK. The LLTD responder isn't necessary on any computer.
It's only purpose is to make a non-Vista computer appear in Vista's
Network Map. Windows 2000 (and XP) can network with Vista and share
files without it.

Something else is causing the problem. If you'll post details,
someone should be able to help.

Network:

Windows 2000 Pro systems, with a share on a Windows 2000 Pro system.

Static IP addresses.

One of the systems died and was replaced with a new system (from Fry's) with
Vista Home Basic (not what I would have chosen).

The existing Windows 2000 Pro systems are working fine.

The new system (Vista) can PING the address of the share (192.168.1.1) and,
after removing Symantec Internet Security (no internet access anyway) the W2K
share machine can PING the address of the Vista box (192.168.1.3)

I have gotten the Vista machine to see the share machine - once. Trying to
connect got the login box, where I enterred the username and password of the
share system and couldn't connect.

I tried using the commands "net view" and "net use" without success - access
denied. The system was refusing my network password - even when I'd reset it
on both systems.

The hardware is new enough that there aren't drivers on the HP website to
load for Windows 2000 Pro (which I'd load), XP or even Linux.

Their application is an old DOS based one, but it is running their business.
