I have a W2K Pro workstation using dial-up networking to connect to my NT4 network. The dial-up connection works fine - I get an IP address can ping servers, connect to the internet etc... but I cannot browse the NT network.

After some investigation I've found the IPCONFIG /ALL indicates that NetBIOS is disabled for the dial-up session.

Technet etc... say I should turn on NetBIOS over TCP/IP in the WINS dialogue for the connection but the option diesn't appear.

Anyone got any ideas?

2)scroll down to tcp/ip netbios helper
3)on startup tab mark it @automatic.
also
1)open network icon from control panel.
2)from your ras server properties select
ras port & on network tab & configue your ras client to access entire network.check to see if is configured to access server only.then you determine if that was cause. i hope it helps,thought i would participate.fill me in on your status &good luch

Sorry this wasn't the problem. I have managed to work this out since and the problem was down to the dial-up connection settings. Basically, you need to set the connection to logon to an NT domain - this gives an extra logon dialogue when you start the connection.
