Hi
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings,

As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what it is
allowed to be shared.
Vista File and Printer Sharing-

One more thing to add on. When I go to Network Place & click on the
"Computers around me", it shows a pop-up windows stating that no
computers found. If I view entire network & click on workgroup, it
shows another error pop-up windows. This means unlike my vista pc
which at least shows me the router & myself in network, 2000 pro can't
show anything at all.
Pls advise.
Thanks & best regards,
