Make sure you have the user account you're using in XP created on the W2k server. Also check permissions on shared resources you want to access.

I have network access to the server and all it's share resources and i can access it succesfully with the same user and password ...on dialup (my laptop) i can not access...i see nothing

Lastly - you may want to verify that Windows XP Pro is installed on that system, not 'Home.' Home does not have the networking capabilities that you probably require.

Good luck,

Is routing and remote access enabled? If so is your server issuing a static or dynamic IP address? Did you establish a static route to resources?

routing and remore access for my account is enabled and my laptop is having a static IP address and the server issuing static addresses

The problem is with your server. You need to explain a little more on how you configured your server to route. Sounds like to me the server cannot find itself. To test try pinging the IP address of the server.

it is solved now
the problem was with setting permissions for share resources on the win 2k server
sharing should be for web sharing not normal netowork sharing
