2 systems ... both are win2k...
connected by netgear home router w/port forwarding disabled...

i'm trying to share a folder "C:\share" so i can access it from another computer .. both computers have file sharing enabled as well as client driver

they have different names "a" & "b" and both are members of workgroup "WORKGROUP" the problem is that when i do "net view" from the system that's sharing it it says

"error 6118 ... list of servers for this workgroup is not aviable"

when i do "nbtstat -a /-A" from the client.. in both cases it says "host not found"... althought i can ping the server

what am i doing wrong .. i need to do a large transfer fast ... please help

ps: no software firewalls are in place
