I set up a shared Internet connection on my Win2K machine but now I can not get the "net work places" to function. I can also not acces a networked printer, or use network messageing. All other machne on network recognize the WIN2K computer is part of the workgroup but I can not access other computers from the Win2K. I can force the connections but it will not automatically search for the other computers.

HELP!.

I can restore from scratch abd start re-installing applications from a C: drive BU but wiuod preferr not to.

Are all of the PC set to the same workgroup and assigned an IP within the same subnet? If not you can try to hard code the IP's if you do not have too many computers. This should then resolve the issue.
