Whenever I attempt to access users and computers via the MMC Snap-in I receive the following error:
Naming information cannot be located because: The network path was not found.

The best way to do this for a small network is to make a host file. This should contain the name of each computer (tab) and IP address of the machine on each line. Then go into the network properties and use IMPORT LMHOST to import the file you created. Computers either use a Windows Information Naming System WINS or LMHOST files to obtain the "path" to computers on the network. If you need mroe help, feel free to send me e-mail.
