Hi y'all,
Haven't posted in a while but I got a problem with 2 laptops that are accessing a windows 2000 pro server thru wireless routers.
Each laptop was able to access specific folders or files on this windows 2000 server fine but just recently I'm getting this error pop up when trying to access it again "the specified network name is no longer available" (see .gif file below for desktop screen shot)
what is causing this and how can I fix it? I checked on Microsofts knowledge base and they have no real solution for this..anyone got any clues?
thanks!
 
oh, and wired computer on the same network can access the folders fine.
 
It's fixed..what I did was mapped a network drive to that shared folder and it seemed to work fine now.. weird.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
