Ok, not sure if this is a MS issue or an Symantec issue, but when I try to do
a client install from the Symantec 10.0 server console I get the following
error message when I enter the admin credentials when trying to push out the
AV client.

No network provider accepted the given network path.

I can see the clients, but when I enter the admin ID and password I get that
message. If I do a client search from this console it doesnt see the
workstations (XP). Im not sure if its a MS issue on Symantec issue. File
and print sharing is on and the firewalls are disabled. Any suggestions??

file and printer sharing could be necessary
I see the same thing happening with the McAfee EPO push install

if you enable file and printer sharing all sort of things will go
smoother anyway
lots of remote client software is depending on this

I do have file and print sharing on (both on the server and the
workstations). There is 1 server running 2003 and 3 XP workstation all on a
workgroup. Any other suggestions? If I do a search for computers by name
and/or IP address they dont come up.

sorry, misread your post
thought you disabled F/P sharing

is the administrator account also known on the clients?
does it have the same password?

can you browse the network?
can you open the administrative shares on the workstations?
did you enable the netbios helper service, on both server and clients?
does the server shut down regularly or does it stay online for 'ever'
this because of the master browser service

for 3 clients I would not bother and do a manual install
you will find there is a share on the server made by symantec from
where you can start up an agent install
from then on they will show up in the symantec console
