Help!! I administer a WinNT4.0 domain from a Win2k box. (Professional) Whenever I try to create shares on remote boxes by right-clicking on the folder, there is no option for "sharing..." Also on my print server, when I open the "printers" applet I cannot see the shared printers. I have Domain Admin rights on both the accounts domain and the resource domain. Can anyone tell me how to view these shares. I even checked a co-worker of mine's user account and she can see the shares and belongs to all of the same groups that I do... Any suggestions?? Any help GREATLY APPRECIATED!!

In regards to the "sharing" not showing up when you right-click, Have you installed Files and Printer sharing for Microsoft Networks under Local Area Connections for the Win2000 machine.

I agree with Islander.

You need to make sure you have all of your services installed, both on the 2000 machine and the client machine. The client has to be configured for file and print sharing as well.

If you're seeing other strange things, check your pysical connection to the network on your 2000 machine. Sometimes if you have a bad patch cable, you get strange packet loss and sometimes you see things, while others you don't.

Just a suggestion
