I know this may sound like a stupid question but I'm having issues trying to setup a mapped drive from one server to another. I thought just enabling the service and opening the port would do it but I can't seem to may a drive from one to the other. I can ping each server but I can't figure out why I can't map one drive to the other. Both machines are Windows 2k3 machines and access rights are set. I go to search for the computer and can't find it plus unable to map to the created share. Anyone have any ideas on what I'm doing wrong here?

How are you mapping it?
Open up my computer
Tools --> Map Computer
for the server path, put in
\\your.ip.here\share name
The folder is shared that your trying to map to correct?

Yep, the folder is shared. I can't figure this out. I know I've disabled it in the past but I figured that just enabling it would work. I've have tried the "\\server.ip\map" and nothing.
Thanks for the response..

the actually error is " The drive could nt be mapped because no network was found. "

I can not figure this out. Is there a particular service I need running on the machine with the mapped drive? I figured just enabling "file and printer shareing with Client for Microsoft Networks" would do the trick. I can ping the other machine from each server but trying to locate it "NOT" ... I"ve even tried disabling the firewall but nothing... any ideas?

Actually I tried hardening the machine quite some time ago and removed or deleted services to allow TCP/IP to communicate over NetBIOS... duh.. rookie error. ..
