Hi there experts I have a problem synchronising my laptop to my desktop. They are both running on W2k and connected with Ethernet cards and cross cable, and I use Netbeui. I can see the laptop and have downloaded from the laptop to the desktop, but when I go this way on my laptop to see the desktop [click on My network places - entire network - entire contents - microsoft windows network - workgroup - my desktops name] I get this error message: "The computers name is not accessible. There are currently no logon servers availible to service the logon request." Hoping to here from you R

I have the same problem but laptop has win98 error on laptop trying to access desktop (no permission to access resource)

I had the same problem, and I change mi network interface adapter and now all works fine. My nics adapter are: Desktop: AOpen AON-315 the old nic was Realtek 8139C generic Notebook: Megahertz Cardbus. SO: Windows 2000 Pro Spanish

Question are you logging in exactly the same on both machines i.e. user/pswrd, are the accounts on both machines the same and have the same rights, and is the network settings exactly identical i.e. workgroup/name, protocol, file and print services installed, make sure the connecting to machine grants the other/everyone access or other machine/user access, check security exspecially if both machines are NTFS. There are more steps involved in 2000 then any windows 9x/ME machines. The look is similar but the guts are completely different. Hope this helps, Danny
