Win NT network -- I have shared folders/resources many times w/o problem with Win98 computers. Now have Win2000 laptop that I have shared a particular folder, mapped drive on computer that has a CD RW -- can see the computer on network, but not thefolder I want to copy ??

What am I missing?

Thanks for your assistance.

That's the first thing I checked. I shared both the main folder ("my pictures") and the specific folder w/pictures. I can see the computer on the network, but neither folder...

My previous comment may not have made it in bec. I didn't rate answer... but I said that I "think" we're on static IP w/firewall (and use DSL).

But why would that matter because I've been able to share Win98 computers/resources with no problem... ? It's just the win2k pro.

Still haven't resolved this problem... Didn't understand the second answer I got. So increased points in hopes I would receive an answer.

Thanks.

I decided to try w/identical laptop - shared folder w/no problem. Then I had inspiration: log on as person whose documents I can't see after sharing... IT WORKED!!

...not sure why I have to do this with just this one. But it solved my dilemmafor now.
