New user

[Guest]

I am a new hire, and was told to set myself up on the network. Had another
user's Admin login.

Set myself up as a new user in Active Directory on the server. Admin
rights, joined appropriate groups, based on other users' setups, in approp.
Domain.

On the Local machine, set myself up as an Admin, and local user, again, like
other users.

When logging in on the local machine, I believe I am doing a network login,
not a local login.

However, when I am logged in, "My Network Places" does not show in the menu.
And, when I access "My Network Places" thru Help, I don't have access to the
shared folders on the server.

What did I miss in my setup?

Thanks.

What's the system error if you use net view \\dcip?

Robert,

I have no idea what you are referring to. I am not a network admin, just
someone who has been shown a little about setting up a new user.

I typed "net view \\dcip" at a command prompt, and got "System error 53 has
occurred. The network path was not found". Same thing I get on a computer
that sucessfully connects.
