  Hi friends,
  

  
   I've a strange problem. I have a server(win 2k) with the name SERVER and clients (XP, ME, 2000 Prof and 2000 Server). From the server i can able to connect to any client.
  

  
  But from the client i cannot connect to server( when i issue \SERVER) displaying cannot be accessed. Network Path cannot be found).
  I've one web application in the server. If i run that application, its working fine.
  

  
  If i issue \SERVER\sharedfoldername
  

  
  its displaying the contents.
  

  
  But i can not logon to server(cannot validate your password, even the password is correct)
  

  
  Our internet also got problem. May be because of that. very very slow. connecting and disconnecting.
  

  
  what could be the problem?
  

  
  thanks in advance.

  Hi,
  

  
  1) Was it working before ?
  

  
  2) have you virus checked all workstations and server with up to date software ?
  

  
  3) have you checked for spyware with Ad-aware or similar ?

  I think I would switch everything (workstations, server, routers, etc) off. Leave off for five minutes. Then bring up one by one, starting with routers, then server, then one worstation at a time. and see if problem reoccurs. Test each as they come up.

  Problem 1: This is likely not a networking problem, your machines can obviously see each other and connect to mapped resources. Your problem is logging onto the server as a user, which suggests one of 2 common problems, both of which are administrative.
  

  
  
  1. You do not have the user account set up properly on your server. Ensure that the account exists on the server, and that you are using the correct spelling and case for the username and password.
     
  2. You are using a local account on a computer to try to log into an account with the same name on the server. An account with the name "Administrator" on a client computer is a completely different administrator account than "Administrator" on the server, unless you have set up your network as a domain and are logging into domain accounts. Otherwise, you will probably need to specify Computername\Username in the username field when logging into a remote computer or it will try to log in using the local account, which will result in the problem you are having.
     

  
  

  
  Problem 2: You don't give nearly enough info to troubleshoot this problem. Useful information would be what you have in your protocol stack; how you are sharing the connection; etc.
