[kbilbee]

Running 4.0.5 and want to have a printer share on the clinet accessable to a server on the remote lan.

How can I do this?

Is this printer hooked up to the clients machine directly or is it a networked printer?

Connected directly

Then you should be able to just share the printer like you would normally and have the remote server install it and you should be good to go.

This is what I have. I can have an XP machine on the repote network connect to the machine and see the shares and print to the printer.

But I can not get a win2k or win2k3 server to connect the win2k box returns "The network path was not found" and the win2k3 box returns "No Network Provider Accepted the Given Network Path"

I am stuck I loged into the win2k box using a username and password that is an admin account on the remote machine.

Where do I go from here to get this to work? I have been trying to access by using \\ipaddress\sharename.

If you can make it work on a XP machine, but not on anyother machine, then it probably is a setting somewhere on those machines. Win2k3 especially is renowned for having everything disabled by default.

Also, what version of win2k would you be using. The watered down version, the one that you get typically with a machine that is purchased from places like Dell, are missing alot of network functions, VPN is one of them, so, there is no telling if this is just something else that was taken out.
