Shares can not accesable if network cable removed in W2K server

[Bala]

Can anyone tell anyone, how to configure & access through
share in the local machine, when not connected to network,
say cable is removed. NT server will retain the share
names and you can access event the cable removed.

Can't you just go through the file system to find the folders that are
shared, if you're on that computer?

You have to add

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip
\Parameters]
"DisableDHCPMediaSense"=dword:00000001

to your registry. This keeps W2K from turning off TCP/IP
when no cable is attached
