I am trying to manage a server from another computer running win 2k, a router, advanced server. I have on file and print sharing. I installed admin tools.

I get the error:

"network path not found".

Make sure your name resolution is working fine. With mix mode network, it is DNS and WINS. With native mode (Win2k Only), it need to have a properly configured DNS server.
Another solution is to use LMHOST, and HOST files.

you can use terminal services to manage remote server. But first, make sure that you network connection works properly.

First, you need to be on that remote server to install terminal server services there. During installation make sure you specify to install for administration and not for user access.

Once installed, you will be able to make diskette for terminal services for workstations. Once you installed terminal services client, you can remotely access that server anytime you want. You could even reboot the server remotely.
