so from a command prompt on your local machine, you type:
"c:\>dir \\server\c\winnt\" and you get a directory listing, or not?

I have no trouble manipulating files on NT, 2000, and 2003 servers from
the CLI on my 2k laptop...not sure this is what you are trying to do, tho'.

Its kinda hard for me to explain... There are a bunch of
servers that each group can access around our building. I
have access to it the the neighborhood through a
shortcut. I tried mapping it to a drive letter and access
it that way, but that doesn't seem to work either. The
command you gave me didn't work either for some reason

as long as you have access to a resource through nethood, you should be
able to map a drive or access it command line. maybe you should talk to
the server admin...

command line drive mapping:
c:\>net use x: \\"insert your server name here"\full\path /user:"user with
access to the resource here"

and then enter the correct password if prompted.
(btw, "x:" can be any letter not already assigned to a local drive)
