New server sees workstation, but not vice versa

Hi All,

I'm a networking amateur. I just installed Win2003Server/Standard and
shared a folder with permissions for Everyone allowed for Change and
Read.

When I check the server's Microsoft Windows Network | Workgroup |
MyWorkstation, I see the shares on the workstation. Also, I can
created, edit and save a document in one of the workstation's shared
folders.

However, when I check Microsoft Windows Network | Workgroup on the
workstation (WinXP-Pro/SP2), I only see the workstation and not the
server. Moreover, I can see the document on the workstation which I
previously created while operating on the server.

I then tried to explicitly add my workstation user account to the share
on the server, but I couldn't figure out how to name the workstation
user account nor how to browse for it from the server end.

Any ideas?

Thanks in Advance,
Richard
 
 
Hi again, Plato,

I looked at a couple of the links that looked like they'd be helpful in
the future and bookedmarked them. Thanks for that.

Regarding the subject of this thread, the problem took care of itself.
I just had to give XP a little more time to find shares on the Win2003
Server.

Regards,
Richard
