ntbackup with Xp

[Guest]

I enter in a client of my dom with admin credentials, and I enter in Backup
wizard (ntbackup).
I choice 'Backup selected files', then I expand My network places - Entire
Network - Microsoft Windows Network - MyDomain. Then I try to expand the
computer where there is the shared folder I want to backup.
This is the question:
If I do that with a Windows 2000 Professional client, all it's ok. I expand
the computer and I flag the folder.
If I do that whit an Xp pro I can't expand any computer (neither my computer).

Why? What's the solution?

Thank you and sorry about my bad english...

Alex,

Other than doing the backup, do you have file sharing access between all
computers? Get file sharing working first.
