Im currently adding a windows 2003 server to a small
business network running xp home edition. User names have
been set up in active directory, with proper rights and
group privledges. However, when I attempt to map the
shares from the domain to the home clients, I run into
the following problems, either:
a) when entering the server address on the
network //Servername/Share --I recieve a message that
this address does not exist
b) when browsing the network I see the domain name,
although it is abbreviated because the domain name is to
long for xp home to display, I click on the domain name
to expand it, but I cannot see any of my shares (or the
specific server for that matter), nor at any time am I
prompted for a user name/password to access this
information.
c)when entering just //Servername/ I recieve the message
that no shares are specified
d)when entering the Fully-qualified domain name, of the
server, I recieve a message that this address does not
exist..yet it appears when browsing
I have configured the user name and password to match
the user name present on the AD.
--I'm aware the problem would easily be solved with xp
pro, but the business owner dosn't wish to upgrade all
the client computers
Thanks for the help,
Brian
