I stretched it a bit by identifying myself as a "Technical User" ... but in the small town I live in, I'm considered a guru. I'm usually able to help my neighbors with their PC problems, but this is the first time I've encountered 2000 Professional. A neighbor, in a small surveying business just acquired a new system that came with 2000 Pro and asked me to help them add it to their local network of two other PCs. I connected the ethernet cable ran what I could of the wizard, but can only get a small amount of the network to work. PC1 and PC2 were (and still are) already networked. They work fine with each other. The new PC (PC3) can only see (and be seen by) PC1. It can access files and peripherals on PC1. It can not see PC2, or be seen by PC2. Also, PC1 can see PC3, but when it tries to access files on PC3, a password is solicited. I set no password when I ran the wizard, I tried to grant full access to all users, but nothing seems to change. The troubleshooter was of no help what-so-ever. I saw one thing that disturbed me a little when looking through help ... and that was that "with 2000 Pro I can network to other PCs running 2000 Pro." Does that mean I can not network to the PCs which are on Windows 98 and 95?
