Shared Folder

[h90]

I have one computer running Windows 2000 and it has a shared folder.

It has the IP 196.168.0.33

I open this folder from my other WinXP computer with IP 196.168.0.13

And it works most of the time.

But sometimes I get "The network path was not found"

Restarting the computer normally helps

The computer is shown in the "Workgroup"

Anyone has an idea what the reason might be??

what I think is strange. When I open "My Network Places" I see the folder \\IP-5000\stock but it tells Network Location "The Internet", while in fact the are connected to the same switch....

Any ideas?

to add:

before I posted it, I tried several times to open that folder.

After I posted it, I just tried again, knowing that it wouldn't work, but it worked and it opened.....

On both computers nothing changed beside that my staff opened an old DOS program which doesn't do anything with network.

This issue may occur if the TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper Service is not running on the client computer.

This service is running. I think the problem comes more from the sharing computer as I had the same problem when I tried from a different computer to get the files from it.
