Help! winXP & w2k networking problem!!

[nvektus]

I'm having problem accessing my w2k Advanced Server from my XP boxes. W2k to XP or XP to XP, no problems at all. But XP to W2k, I can see w2k's shared folders but as soon as I try to open one, it'll hang. Both XP's user/pass are setup in the w2k box as admins. I don't know what I'm missing??

The setup is 2 XP pro and 1 w2k Advanced Server behind a 4-port linksys router with dsl connection. w2k is on DMZ with a static ip while the 2 xp boxes are on dhcp.

TIA

I have a simular problem at home here. Two XP boxes and one 2k. The two XP's can see each other fine, but neither can see the 2k. The 2k can only connect to the internet and cant see either of the XP boxes. :Q

It's working now I thought it was hanging when I tried to access w2k's shared folder, It wasn't, it just took forever. The solution was to map the shared folders as a network drive to be able to view the files instantly.

Now a new problem arose For some reason the right-click menus on the w2k box don't work. This happens in Windows Explorer, the right-click menu is there, but none of them work, nothing happens when I click! wtf!
