To enter workgroup or domain information right click on my computer,
properties, network identification, properties. You can enter your
workgroup name there - make sure they are both the same.
If you can see the other computers but can't connect - the netbios
resolution is probably correct. The most common error for not being able to
access any of the shares on the remote machine is that the users and
passwords don't match for the users defined on each machine. If you are
networking in a workgroup, you need to define the same user and password on
each machine for the authentication to work correctly. Basically the
message means "Yes I can get the computer, but I can't access anything on it
i.e. authentication.
In Win2K you can do one of 2 things for your multiple locations. You can
define multiple dial up networking connections, or you can add multiple
phone numbers to your existing.
Hope this helps

I'm trying to get a couple PC's with W2K to communicate with each
other (again).
In what control panel does one enter workgroup/domain information?
I am able to see other computers in the network neighborhood, but
when I attempt to connect I get the message "<computer> is not
accessible.\nThe network path was not found." Can I get a plain
English translation what this means?
Can W2K save a set of Internet settings like the Mac's Location
Manager? I'm setting up a laptop to travel from work and home.
As always your guidance and insights are appreciated....
->Ken

One way to get to this is by right-clicking My Computer, selecting
properties and selecting the Network Identification tab.

For one windows machine running TCP/IP only to see another running TCP/IP
only, they need to be able to resolve the machine name to an IP address.
This is handled either by a WINS server, through DNS or through an lmhosts
file (there may be other ways.) Try typing in the run box (click Start
then Run) "\\ip.address.of.othermachine" without the quotes and with the
appropriate substitution. An lmhosts file is the easiest way to fix this
problem; WINS and DNS/Active Directory will require NT or Win2k server.

Good question. I've never tried to do this, but it may be possible with
hardware profiles. My solution to this problem has been to set everything
up so that the machine gets its information dynamically when it connects.
