Unable to access file & print server

[Guest]

Hi,
I have a 2003 file and print server in my domain environment which is a
member server and also i have a win2000 professional. Problem is when i am
trying to access win2000 machine from the 2003 file & print server i am able
to access but, when i am trying to connect to the file and print server from
the 2000 machine i used to get "network path not found"... FYI i am able to
ping to the DNS Server....Please try to help me....

When on the client if you do a
ping -a <f&p server name>
do you get the correct IP displayed ?
If so and resolution is working, then is the
firewall turned on on the F&P server, does
it allow F&P exemption scoped to IPs of
the client systems? etc.

the correct ip. But i don't find any firewall on the Win2003 file and print
server. Please helpme out on the same....

You find the firewall in W2k3 pretty much the same way as you do
in XP. I use the network connections view and access using the
properties of a network interface, going to the advanced tab.
Also, while in the network interface properties, check to make
sure the File and Print is checked so that it is enabled.
