Unable To Access Network Shares From Win Xp Pro

borris83
Hi, all the computers in the network are connected to windows 2003 domain. When a type a system name or i.p address in the run dialog box, nothing happens.. I don't even get an error message or a hour glass that indicated it is trying something.

But it works when I map it as network drive.

The interesting thing is, it also works if I stop 'print spooler service'

What could be the problem

Are you typing in two backslashes before the system name? They are needed before the IP address as well.

For example: to get to computer 'yoda55', you can go to
CODE
Start -> Run -> explorer \\yoda55
. That should bring up the network shares for yoda55.

Regards,

z.
