I need to share a drive for backup purposes. Right clicking on the drive does not give me a sharing option. It was told to me that if the sharing option does not appear that I have to enable the server service but when I go to the services tab, there is not server service to enable. Being so unfamiliar with Windows 2000 Professional, I am not sure what my next step would be.

In properties of local area network in network neighborhood, add the File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks.

Also go into PROPERTIES of file and print services and put a check in I WANT TO SHARE FILES and if you like I WANT TO SHARE PRINTERS or something to that effect. Also you have to be a POWER USER I believe to share folders. Also you have to log in as Admin to add the file and print sharing option in the network control panel. Hope that helps. Rob
