How are you networking it USE? peer to peer or server client? will there be a gateway or a router or what?

fuck knows. ive got a shitty old desktop which has loads of files, but the cd writer gave up years ago. i got a crossover cable and stuck it in both of them. ive sorted my xplaptop for connectivity, but i cant work it out in 2000. if that makes sense. i can see the desktop from the laptop’s network places, but it wont let me in. im thinking it might be cos teh old desktop was on a mate of mines network for abit, and might be still set up for that….

have you shared the folders you are trying to access on the win2000 machine? if you havent that will be your problem most likely.
