Hi Folks,
Hope you can answer a question for me.
We have 2 servers, Both on T-1s Both running Windows 2000 Advanced Server.
Both behind firewalls. I would like to have one server with a mapped network
drive of the other server and I have tried to use the admin share (ie
\\server ip address\ drive$ I have also shared this drive as a share name
and tried that but doesnt work. If you could point me to a site that has a
step by step or be willing to throw me a bone and type one I would be
forever in your debt. I searched MS site etc but no luck.
Thanks for any thing you can offer
 
- Start a Command Prompt
- Type this command:
net use x: \\YourServer\c$
- Report the message you see on the screen.
 
Do I have to open 445 on the firewall? I know this isnt a good idea due to
viruses, worms etc
