Hi:
 
I have two W2K Prof. computers (192.168.0.100 & 101) on a DLink wireless  
router (192.168.0.1).  Both computers' NICs have File and Printer Sharing  
enabled.  Both computers are in the same workgroup.  However, I cannot  
see/share folders and printers from either computer to the other.
 
If I create a share folder, the permissions dialog box only sees Users from  
the same computer, i.e. the Look In drop down is greyed-out and won't let me  
change to the other computer.
 
Thanks for any help you can provide!!!

With Win2k, you need to create identical user accounts/passwords on each
machine. Also, make sure any firewalls have the lan IP range in as
Trusted.

Hello,
I have Win2000 (192.168.0.251) and WinXP Pro (192.168.0.253) computers  
in the same workgroup, connected to a NetGear router.  The Win2000  
computer recognizes that the WinXP computer is in the group, but can't  
connect to it.  The WinXP computer says the group is not available.
 
Thanks for any suggestions....

I can get to shares on the other computer by typing its address.  For  
example, \\192.168.0.253\SharedFolder works.  Can't browse by name, and  
connecting to the shared dvd drive using the IP address doesn't seem to  
work.

Thanks, that did it.
It seems my computers were using the setting on the router; when I  
changed routers, I didn't change the settings on the computers.

Spoke too soon...
I mistakenly added the NetWare Ipx/Spx NetBIOS protocol.  The networking  
      seemed to work.  When I added NetBIOS to the TCP/IP protocol (and  
removed the NetWare junk), it didn't work.
 
Thanks for the reply.

You will have to make sure you remove that NetWare Ipx/Spx NetBIOS  
protocol from all of them and reboot all.. Leave netbios over tcp/ip  
enabled. Then go and see if TCP/IP is bound to Client for Microsoft  
Networking and Printer and Filesharing. Sounds like your bindings got  
changed.

Thanks for the help, Tanya.
The laptop (WinXP Pro) can browse the shares on the desktop (Win2000  
sp3).  When I try to browse the network on the desktop computer, it  
recognizes the workgroup, but then says it is not accessible.
Could this have something to do with my making the network settings from  
an admin account, while my daily account is not in the admin group?
Thanks again...

If you have simple filesharing disabled then go into the machine and add  
your profile to permissions. Is there a $(hidden share) in the title in the  
sharing and security tab? If there is maybe click on new share and rename  
it. This will get everybody. Not a secure method but if it is a personal  
machine your the only one browsing. Giving your profile permission would be  
better.
Here is a good site to go through

Another poster on this group (Vinay S) says that the NetWare Ipx/Spx  
NetBIOS is required.  When I re-installed that, the two computers can  
connect to each other by name (instead of IP).

Apparently your bindings for file and printer sharing are with Netware not  
TCP/IP. My son had to use that when he wanted to Game on his LAN and was  
running a proxy(don't know if  a proxy mattered)

Hi Malke:
 
I did have identical usernames/passwords.  Turns out it was my s/w firewall,  
that freeware from SyGate.  That firewall has a parameter in Options to allow  
browsing Network Neighborhood and another parameter to allow file and print  
sharing.
 
Thank you!
