XP Pro to Windows2k

My last post got me through a knot about two XP pro computers in the network,
however...
I cannot seem to get the Windows2k pro to link in. I have tried copying the
home network disk, but it doesn't play in W2K. There seems to be no way to
get this think into the network. No firewalls, it just doesn't want to file
share. It does not recognize anything but its own connection through the
router. Please, oh great network people, help me... again. Thanks in advance.

Richard,

For Windows 2000, just set everything up manually.
