Share not seen by other network users.

Server 2008 - not 'file server' role - it is part of Workgroup (OFFICE) that
6 other machines use - I am part time admin - I have set up shares on another
server (W2003) about 3 years ago.

So I set up the share but it's not listed with the other 2003 shares under
'My Network Places' when I am viewing within 2003 server.

It is seen when I drill down into 'My Network Places/Entire Network/Entire
Windows Network/Office/Server2008'.

Do I need to add file server role to 2008?

Tom

Sorry - 'file server' role is installed.

Make sure you have enabled sharing, run "net share" or post back with the
result.

I ran "net share" and it is listed along with the default others of
IPC$,C$,ADMIN$.

As I said before it is available when one drills down to it on other machines.

IPC$,C$,ADMIN$ are default hidden share and you can't see them from my
network. You should share at lease one folder or drive for remote access.

But I have set up a share - I have set up a share - that's the point of this
question.

Trouble is it's not seen in My Network Places - the first post has ALL the
info I know.

If you have shared one folder, the net share should display it. Tell us how
you enable sharing please.
