I've been working on this same problem for about 3 days
now. I just figured it out, and maybe you're having the
same problem. My Anti-Virus software had set up a
software and was not allowing me to access other
computers. If you can, check your settings and see if
there are any settings about a firewall. Mine was PC-
Cillin 2002. If this is the problem, I hope this helps.

Had similar problems, found it was due to Norton Internet
security

Trusted computers needed to have their IP & mask
entered into the 'Internet Zone control.

After this works OK.

Hope this helps.

On the UC, try mapping a network drive to one of the shares on the DC
from the Tools menu in WindowsExplorer.

Thanks for the suggestions. It was my firewall stopping
me.
I don't think think I would have got there without your
input.
Now I have to see how to fix it and keep working.

Thanks Ron

Thanks for the suggestion. It was my firewall.
I sure didn't suspect it. Ron
