I am running a Windows 2000 environment and not using active directory. I cannot get access to the administrative share. The computers are on a separate lan other than the servers. However I can access the administrative shares of other servers. Any ideas?

=====================

Create the share \\YourPC\Test, then start a Command Prompt on some other
machine and execute these commands:

net use x: \\YourPC\test
net use y: \\YourPC\c$
net localgroup administrators
echo User=%UserName%

Now report what messages (if any) you see.
 
It says the network path was not found

I was actually asking for the response to all four commands. I am now adding
a fifth for which I would like to see the response:

ping YourPC

You obviously have to substitute the name of your PC for "YourPC".
