Server 2003 & XP Home network shareI am trying to view a network share that exists on an XP home box on a
network from a Server 2003 box. This network does not use a domain (just a workgroup). From the XP box (all updates including SP2) I can see the 2003 server as well as the entire network, and I can see all the network shares. However, from the Server 2003 (small business edition with all updates but not SP1), I cannot see the shares. I can ping the XP Box, but attempts to map a drive or view a shared folder result in "the Network is unavailable" error. No firewalls involved (turned of Windows firewall on the XP box). All our other sites use Server2003 to either Server2003 or Server 2000, and everything is fine, this is the only one that has to see an XP box. Is there some setting on one side or the other that I am somehow missing? Many thanks to anyone that can help Microsoft gimped the networking in XP Home. XP Professional should work just
fine. Show quoteHide quote "Jcarr" wrote: > I am trying to view a network share that exists on an XP home box on a > network from a Server 2003 box.
