Network Path Not Found

We have a Windows 2003, Standard Edition server. When I typed
\\computername\C$, it said "Network path is not found". I also tried
\\computername\sharename and still got the same error message. The server
is connected to a workgroup. How do I fix this error message? Thanks.

have you tried getting to it by IP address instead?

Thanks for your suggestion. I have tried the IP address also. Do you have
any other suggestions? Thanks.

Is your Workstation service running?

Yes. I was able to connect to the shares of other servers. Thanks.

The only other thing I can think of off the top of my head would be the
Windows Firewall, whether or not you have it enabled and whether or not
the File and Printer sharing exception is enabled. What is the IP
address of the server? Are all of the machines on the same network
segment?

Thanks very much for your suggestion. File and Printer Sharing was turned
off.
