can't access shares using \\server\share

[Guest]

I cannot access shared folders or drives on our Windows 2000 Server from any remote location by typing in “\\<servername>\<share>†from the command line (or from My Computer or IE). When “\\<servername>\<share>†is typed in, windows will prompt for a login and password. If an incorrect login or password is entered, it will re-prompt for both. If the correct login and password are entered, it will give the error “an unexpected network error occurredâ€

I have checked the shared folder's permissions and can't see anything out of the ordinary
The server is Running W2K Server w/sp4 and all computers trying to access it are running W2k Pro w/sp

What does work: I can access two web directories that are located on the server using FrontPage extentions, and I can also login to the server using terminal services

Any help would be appreciated.

How about...

\\ip_address\share such as; \\192.168.1.10\sharename ?

The you have a NetBIOS and/or SMB problem.

Can you PING the IP address of peers ?

Can you use NBTSTAT on the IP address or Host Name of peers ?
