Problem Connecting to Windowss 2000 Pro Share

A Windows XP Professional user is having problems connecting to a Windows 2000 Professional shared folder. The W2K share Permissions grants access to Everyone with all permissions checked. The security settings for the folder allow Authenticated Users fu
ll control.

The WinXP user sees the W2K computer in the list of Workgroup computers. But double clicking on the computer results in a long delay and then a message that "\\XYZ computer is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Co
ntact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. The network path was not found."

O/S particulars: XP Pro SP 1; W2k SP 3

Does the account that you're using on the XP machine exist on the Win2K =
machine? With the same username and password?

Upgrade the W2k to Sp4 plus post-Sp4 patching.

I'll try your recommendation to install the poast-SP4
service packs - and hope nothing else breaks in the
process! Thanks.
