map network drive

Hi,

I have a SBS 2000 server. It is the domain controller for our network (name
of machine CNG1). I have another machine, CNG3, which has Windows Server 2003
OS, but besides "File Server," it doesn't have any other roles installed. We
just use it for just that, file serving.

I joined the CNG3 machine to the SBS 2000 domain a few months ago. No
problem. I could map network drives from one machine to the other in both
directions.

Recently I have been getting the roaming profile cannot be loaded when I try
to log onto the SBS 2000 domain from the CNG3 (Windows Server 2003) machine.
No biggie.

But today, I can't map CNG1 network drives. If I am on the CNG3 (Win 2k3),
and try to map a network drive that is on the CNG1 domain controller machine,
I can't do it (whether I use \\CNG1\share or \\10.0.0.3\share), I get "The
drive could not be mapped because no network was found." But if I am on the
DC machine named CNG1, I can map a CNG3 network drive both with \\CNG3\share1
and \\10.0.0.4\share1

I have BackupExec installed on CNG 1. I also can't "see" the CNG3 machine
anymore when I use BackupExec under the "Remote Selections>Microsoft Windows
Network>MYCUSTOMDOMAIN" when want to back stuff up from the CNG3 machine. I
did make sure the "Backup Exec Remote Agent for Windows Servers" service is
started.

I can ping either machine from either machine.

I did a nslookup while on the CNG3 machine and I got
--
C:\Documents and Settings\growe>nslookup mycustomdomain.com
Server: CNG1.mycustomdomain.com
Address: 10.0.0.3

Name: mycustomdomain.com
Address: 10.0.0.3
--
internal network:
CNG1 10.0.0.3
CNG3 10.0.0.4
default gateway 10.0.0.2

I am sorry for the long note. I have GOT to backup items on the CNG3
machine. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Grigore
 
can you do net view \\CNG1 or net view \\10.0.0.3?

Robert,

Thanks. Both machines are up and I can still ping either one from either one.

I just logged onto the CNG1 domain from the CNG3 machine as administrator,
and I didn't get the "can't find roaming profile" error.

Here is a copy and paste from cmd.exe for net view (again, this is while on
the CNG3 machine). Thank you, Grigore.


C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.MYCUSTOMDOMAIN>net view \\CNG1
System error 51 has occurred.

Windows cannot find the network path. Verify that the network path is
correct an

I would check the server service and make sure file and printer sharing enabled.

Server service is started on both machines.

Here is an interesting thing: on either machine, I can't start "File Server
for Macintosh" service.

I get a Warning box with the title "Microsoft Management Console" and
"Could not start the File Server for Macintosh service on Local Computer.
Error 2: The system cannot the file specified."

What is going on??
 
What do you have if use this command on the server: net share? post back with the result.
