Q. I created a small network between a Win 2000 and Win XP computer, but I cannot access files on the 2000 computer through the XP computer, but vice versa works fine. I only created it for simple file and printer sharing. Can someone please explain this to me? Better yet, can someone provide me with a solution to solve this problem.
A. Hi,

A. I recognize your problem: You don't have video drivers installed, and this can be remedied several ways. First of all, if you bought your computer from a major PC manufacturer you probably got CDs with drivers, documentation, etc. Find the one that says it contains drivers and install the Video Driver. If it has no easy way to install but the driver file is on the CD, copy the file to your C:/ and name it something like VideoDriver. Go to step 8.
If you bought your video card separately, you should have received a CD with drivers and software on it. Put in the CD and install the Video Drive. It it has no easy way to install but the driver file is on the CD, copy the file to your C:/ and name it something like VideoDriver. Go to step 8.
If you bought your computer (including video driver or onboard video) from a major PC manufacturer and can't find a driver from them, go to their website and find out where you can download drivers for your model of computer. Dell can do this, Hp can do this, Gateway can do this, XYZ Computers can do this. Either install (if it is an executable) or copy the file to your C:/ and name it something like VideoDriver. Go to step 8.
If you're getting nowhere so far, find out your type of motherboard (if the video port is on the motherboard) or your type of video card. You can do this by staring intently at the device and hoping some of the jumble of seemingly random letters appears to be a model name. A magnifying glass might help. We're getting desperate now. If you come up with a name, use your search engine of choice to find <name> driver. Hopefully you'll find the file that you need. Execute if it's an executable, otherwise save the file to your C:/ and name it something like VideoDriver. Go to Step 8.
STEP 8 (named thusly because I felt like it): So you've got the file called VideoDriver on the root of C Drive. Go to your desktop. Right-click My Computer and click Properties. Go to the Hardware Tab and open Device Manager. You have here a list of hardware. Anything with a red X is disabled, and anything with a yellow ! is installed incorrectly (in this case missing a driver). You probably don't have any red X's, but if you do, right-click and Enable Device. You probably have several yellow !'s because you just did a fresh install of Windows. Right now we're concerned about your display devices. Right-click the device in question and click Properties. Update the driver and point it in the direction of your saved VideoDriver file.
Good luck.

How can I set up, in my office network, a hard drive on a Windows 2000 Professional computer to be shared?
Q. I right-clicked on the hard drive on the Win. 2000 Pro computer and clicked "Share" or whatever. When I try to access it from another computer, the only thing that shows up are the printers. Help please.
I set permissions to Everyone and unlimited people can see it.
Also it is a secondary hard drive, not the main C.

A. As long as you share the C:\ you should be able to access it from another computer, go to my computer and map the drive, make sure you do it with the computer name. (example) map drive K folder name (this is to connect to using impc as the computer name) impc\c$ this will connect you to the c:\ of the shared PC.
How can I get a Windows 2000 server to properly configure its clients to see specific gateway?
Q. I have a Windows 2000 server connected to a hub. I also have about 20 Windows XP machines (clients) connected to this hub as well. I also have a Netgear firewall, which is connected to both a cable modem and the hub.
The Win 2000 server has IP 10.100.100.1, and the Netgear firewall has IP 10.100.100.141.
Right now, what I'm doing is going to each client and configuring the Default Gateway entry manually. What I'd LIKE to do is have the client's IP settings set to "Obtain IP Addresses Automatically" and have the Netgear's IP address come up automatically.
I'm assuming this can be done on the Windows 2000 server, as it's the DHCP server on the network, but I have no idea how to do it.
Could someone give me a step-by-step on how to do it?
Also, is this the best way to get my network to have internet access? Right now, each client loses internet access about every 10 mins, which a "repair" will fix, but it happens so regularly that it's getting to be disruptive. Tnx for hlp!

A. Pretty simple. Open your DHCP from administrative tools. Go to scope options. The default gateway is going to be option 003 (router). Add your router's IP here. Poof! you're done! It will push out the router's IP as the default gateway to all DHCP clients.
While you're at it, you might consider adding DNS servers as well (option 006, I think... it will walk you through it). This could go a long way towards fixing your "internet down" issues.
