    Hi all,

    We've got a 7 computer set up with a separate server computer running to control the whole thing. Each of the computers happily view each other, share printers and files:)... apart from the server computer:(.
    The C drive says that it is shared and that all permissions are set correctly but it wont appear in the network places in any of the other computers. Now, all the main computers are running XP professional and the server is 2003. Will this make a difference in file sharing?
    I can ping the server fine from the other computers, just not view the files. Im getting really frustrated over what i expect is just a little problem.

    Cheers for any help.

    Ok, please disregard this question. about 10mins after posting drive I'd been trying to share decided to show up on the network... not too sure why, maybe the thing enjoys annoying me... oh well! (Maybe the threat of hitting the thing with a hammer really worked!!!)
