Server Service, not found 1

[englundn]

Hi,
I have a weird problem with sharing on my XP Home, computer. It says that the server service isn't enabled and i can't figure out how to enable it, because it doesn't exist in the Services under Administrator tools.
I tried to search Google and MS knowledge base, but without any luck.
Anyone with a good advice would be great.

CMD window or RUN BOX type:

net start server


under services it is also called LANMANSERVER (or plain SERVER), can also be started by executing the following:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs
