Can ping but not connect to server

[Tompt5]

Hello,

I am using a Windows 98 computer to connect to a Windows 2000 server through a LAN. I can ping the server, and it can ping my Win98 computer but I am unable to connect to the server from the computer. What seems stranger still is that I can access the shared hard drive on the computer from the server, but it dosen't seem to work the other direction. I have checked the wiring, NIC, IP addresses and all seem to be in order. Any help you all could give me would be greatly appreciated

Does it ask for username and password ?

. check that you Domain Name is correct;
. check that Nebios over TCP/IP is enabled;
. check that your Win9x username and password are identical to the entries on the Server;
. If under AD, remove the machine account, wait 15 minutes, and re-add the machine account.

Thanks for the help, but I think I figured it out. I reboted and reset the hub and router and that seemed to fix it. Probably should have started out with that, but it just seemed too easy Thanks for the feedback!
