>I did manage to fix the problem on my own. I simply had to enable "Client for Microsoft Networks" on my dial-up adapter. I don't remember having to do this in the past on NT Workstation, but maybe the "Upgrade" to Win2k and WinXP has changed things.
That fix makes sense, as file sharing is not available until Client for Microsoft Networks is in use. Just curious, are the W2K and WinXP computers joined to a domain? My guess is they are not.

It did not change a darn thing. I have never used WINS in the past, and I will probably never use WINS in my whole life. All WINS does is match a computer name to an IP where it cannot be done normally. That's not what I needed. I needed to get to a share on a centrally located server, and even using the actual IP was still not working ( \\10.0.10.2\sharename ) Thanks for the suggestion anyway. I did manage to fix the problem on my own. I simply had to enable "Client for Microsoft Networks" on my dial-up adapter. I don't remember having to do this in the past on NT Workstation, but maybe the "Upgrade" to Win2k and WinXP has changed things.
