>I have a Windows 2000 server in my office serving files to 8 other computers, all runinng windows 2000 prof. I attempted to add a new dell laptop, running XP prof, to the network. All of the computers on the network can see the shares on the new dell laptop, but the new dell cannot see the shares on the other computers in the network. Does anyone know of any issues related to windows 2000 server and XP prof.
