Hello folks,

W2000/SP4, suddenly no one in my network can map my pc, users can see my pc
on network but can't map it. Haven't apply any updates since i don't have
automatic updates turned on. Haven't unninstall or install anything lately,
haven't changed any network or TCP/IP settings, i don't know what might be
causing this. I really need to solve this issue. I'm sharing my printer and
have important files my co-workers use thru my pc.

Any ideas why is this happening, don't know where to start to give a
solution.

Click to expand...

Try this on one of the other PCs and report the result:
- Click Start / Run / cmd {OK}
- Type this command:
net use Q: \\JR_PC\JRShare

Use the correct PC and share names.
 
Thanks for the quick response,

Try that and here are the results:

net use Q: \\auxcomp\c$
RESULT: System error 67
Can't find specified network name (Translation from spanish, hope is
accurate)

net use \\auxcomp\c
RESULT: System error 67
Specified network name is no longer available

net use \\auxcomp\c$
RESULT: System error 64
Specified network name is no longer available

As you can see, tried a few ways to use this command and still the same
thing. Tried from a WinXP box. Also forgot to mention that i can map to the
other pc's in my network

What should i do next??

It is not clear from your tests if the problem is caused
by incorrect names or non-existing shares. Let's try some
more tests.

1. On \\AuxComp, open a Command Prompt and type
these commands:
md C:\Test
net share Test=C:\Test
ipconfig
Make a note of this PC's IP address.

2. On your other PC, type these commands in a
Command Prompt and report the results:
ping aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd (Use the correct IP address for \\AuxComp)
net use Q: \\aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd\Test

If you still have problems, remove, then re-install all networking
components on the problem PC.
 
Hello and thanks again,

Problem was solved. Apparentelly "I" disabled SERVER service (Don't know how
since i don't recall myself browsing in Administrative Tools in Control
Panel), while i was typing the commands you suggested it prompted me to
start SERVER services, so i did and now everything is working smoothly with
shares and my co-workers can map to my pc.

Thanks for your help, was appreciated.
