    Are you sure the network card is not working? It may be the /modem/
    drivers that are missing. Assuming you are not on dialup, remove the
    modem from the machine and recheck to see if there are no longer any
    missing drivers.

    To share files on a networked Win2k machine I beleive all you have to do
    is enable file sharing

    'Use simple file sharing'

    Thanks Philo. The modem is OK. The connection is through ethernet and the eithernet driver is installed OK.

    I don't know about the details of the problem you described, but if you
    connect the two computers directly with an Ethernet cable it will take
    the complication of the router out of the equation. Many years ago when >> I had a couple of W2K computers I did this and it worked so well, I used >> one computer's hard drive as a drive on the other computer. It was
    virtually transparent.

    I do know that in general networking and especially wireless networking
    in harder to set up under W2K than newer versions of windows. That is
    one reason I stopped connecting my PCs, that and the fact that my laptop >> is faster and has a larger hard drive, so I just don't bother with the
    desktops anymore. lol

    Rick

    Thanks Rick. I may end up doing that temporarily. This network has the
    modem connected by ethernet to the router, then split to each computer. If I use ethernet PC-to-PC, I would lose net access. (I got a supply of CD's yesterday myself! LOL!!)

    I guess I assumed you meant a wireless router. Can't you connect
    wirelessly to the router?

    Well, thanks for all the suggestions. I feel like a knucklehead now.... The whole problem was I was misspelling the name of the network on one of the computers. Everything else connected automatically. Now that this has been corrected, all is working fine. Even was able to network a printer for the first time.

    Thanks again for the support and ideas, and enjoy the chuckling! LOL!!
