cannot manage another win2k computer

I have two computers at home which I use to test and learn about win2k server. I have one machine loaded with server and the other with win2k-pro. I joined the Pro machine to the domain with no problem and it shows up in the Computers folder in Active Directory Users and Computers. When I try to manage it I get a message saying: Computer \\computername.domain.com cannot be managed. Network path not found. Microsoft Knowledge base says that File and Print sharing is not enabled on remote machine and to enable it, but win2k default is enabled already, so that's not it. This problem works both ways. I can log on as admin on Pro machine and get same message. I have win2k-pro dual boot on machine with Server and can load it up and can manage either way in a ptp as admin. Possible leads, named pipes? IPC$ share? Active Dir. itself? I can run registry edit and manage remote registry. Sharing files and accessing directory no problem. Reinstalling win2k server did not solve problem. This will bug me to death until I find out why. Help me Obi-Wan-Kanobi!

Go to command prompt on client machine run ipconfig and check ip address and subnet mask. If your server is set up as DHCP and you have your scope set up and authorized check the addresses that you have set and look to make sure that the one on the client is in the ranges you specified.If not go back to the client make sure the IP addresses are set to be found automatically and if needed release and renew them.
