Small Business Server 2000 SharedFax problem

[selvan pillay]

I have installed the SBS 2000 server running shared fax.
The workstations running XP and Winnt4.0 see and run the
sharedfax options. The workstations running win98se,
installs the sharedfax option but their is no sharedfax
printer in the printers folders nor is there the sharedfax
program. I have tried to manually install the sharedfax
option but as soon as I point the setup program to the
installed sharedfax printer on the SBS2000 server, I get
the following error message:"The printer name you have
entered is either an invalid fax printer name or the
microsoft shared fax server is unavailable." Now the
server is functioning as I can send faxes from my NT
workstation.

How are you installing sharedfax ?

Install it from Cmd line using \\SbsServer\faxclients\setup.exe and when it
asks for the printer specify \\SbsServerName\sharedfax
