Hey.

I am trying to connect my xp home to my nt server. I do not want to login through the domain i just want to view shared files.

Any help with that?

Cheers

What are you trying to connect to on your NT Server? If it is just a share, then share the folder out.
 
Hey,

Ummmm. I have shared the folders. But on my xp i cant see the computer on any of the work groups. And i can't see my xp on my nt server..

I am trying to connect my xp home to my nt 4.0 server.

Is your nt server actually member of a workgroup? (or is it set up as domain server).

Have you tried direct access - type \\ntservermachinename in the run box on Xp machine and see if it finds it (should prompt for a username/password, then open explorer window showing all the shares on the nt server)

Or \\xphomemachinename in run box on NT server.
 
Hey,
