Hi all,
My office running NT4 server with service pack 6a. We have client using
98SE, ME, XP. Recently, i setup a pc running Win 2k with service pack 4.
The problem is NONE of the machine can see the folders shared by the Win2K!
Not even the server.
I can ping the W2k ip address and no data was loss.
I can also see the W2k name when using the net view at command prompt.
I can see the W2k name in the Network neighborhood/My network place.
I'd enable the TCP/ip over netbios for W2k, and Xp.
The computer name is short less than 8 characters, and the folder's name is
also less than 8 characters.
I'd tried using the administrator to log in.
I'd renew the DHCP too.
And ........ i still can't access the W2k shared folders.


Please advice.


Thanks in advance.

ps my last resort will be re-format and re-install W2k
 
if you can see it by using net view, but it doesn't list the sharing
details, you may want to check the sharing settings on w2k. or what do you
get if using net share command on w2k?

net share should list what you have enabled to share. If not list, you have
no thing to share.
