Running Win2k server and recently installed Etrust InnoculateIT 6.0 After installation, my server became "hidden" in network neighborhood. Almost as if its invisible. I know its invisible as I can still map to it if I know the share name. But if I don't know the exact share name, its a pain.

However when I disable the Etrust services, the server becomes visible again...

Is there any way to fix this bizarre behavior without disabling Etrust?

you might actually want to contact Etrust CCNA MCP NET+ A+
 
With the Etrust software installed try going to command prompt and typing NET CONFIG SERVER /HIDDEN:NO Wait for an hour or so for the change to be reflected in network neighborhood.

I tried "NET CONFIG SERVER /HIDDEN:NO" and no luck. :(
Thanks anyway. I didn't know that this command existed.
 
Anything in the event log? How long has this been going on? Glen A. Johnson
