I just upgraded one of my servers from Windows NT 4.0 sp6
to Windows 2000 Advance Server sp4. I tried to map a drive
from my work station to this servr. I get the message
(remote computer not available). I was told you need the
server service running to make connections accross the
network. I checked some other servers and it is running on
them. I check this machine and the service is not there.
The file srv.sys is on the box. My question is can I
create this service and how do I accomplish this without a
reinstall?

Click to expand...

What happens if you type:
net start server
at the command line?

If the server service starts, you should be able to fix the problem
by starting the services applet, then changing the server service
"startup type" to automatic.

You'll need to bind "File and Printer Sharing" to the connection. Control
