Hi, I'm trying to share a Win2K Server folder to XP Home. Can't even see the Win2K machine when I go to 'view workgroup computers.' Here are some more details.......

+Connection goes over router, but all firewalls turned off.

All properties in local area connections seem correct on both machines, like:
+Client for Microsoft Networks
+File and Print Sharing
+TCP/IP.

I've run the 'Set up a home or small OFFICE NETWORK' wizard in XP Home. Workgroup names match on both machines. Folder on Win2K Server is set for sharing with user name and permissions. User accounts are CREATED on both machines, but I'm doing everything from administrator login now.

Are these two systems (Win2K Server and XP Home) even compatible for file sharing?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.Hopefully this can help .

8-)fffreakThanks fffreak! That was a big help. I READ many online tutorials, but the one you linked actually held the solution. My settings were all correct, but I needed to enter the following at the run prompt:

\\ComputerName\ShareName

After that, the share appeared in Network NEIGHBORHOOD. Go figure. Thanks a bunch :-)Your welcome . Happy to help!
