Hi guys -
Freshly installed Win 2000 Pro machine in a classroom test setting, network card installed but no cabling attached to anything at this point.
Machine is set up in a workgroup, not domain. Windows file and printer sharing is turned on. If you navigate to the Network Places and drill down into the workgroup name, the machine does not see itself. Therefore, if you share a folder, i.e. c:\test, you cannot use the UNC at the command prompt to see the share (i.e. \\computername\test)
What's the deal? We are not able (or allowed) to install service packs so I was thinking try to remove and re-install file and printer sharing.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
- Bob
