I have a desktop running windows 2000 and a laptop running
windows xp pro.

After sharing the necessary folders I can access the
shared folders on my desktop from my laptop.

However when I try to access the shared folders on my
laptop(win xp pro) from my desktop(win 2000) I get the
following messge:

"The remote server has been paused or is in the process of
being started".

Can someone tell me what do I have to do to correct this??

Thanks!
 
Hi AMC,
This is very strange error to be recieving when accessing shares on a
system. Make sure that the File and Print sharing is enabled on the
desktop, also check in Services and make sure that the Server Services is
started and NOT starting. Check the System Event logs on the Desktop see
if you are getting error messages on boot up. Also, from the Laptop try
and connect to the admin share \\systemname\admin$ do you get the same
error message.

Please let me know what you see after you check these items.

Thanks!
