I have been searching and not found how to do this. We have a small ethernet LAN in our office with the dedicated server running Windows 2000 Server with a 16 port hub. We have a Linksys Router that our DSL modem plugs into and the Linksys plugs into our HUB. All the hardwired PC's lines run to this HUB. All hardwired computers run Win XP Pro.
We have one laptop that we want to be able to connect wirelessly to the server. We have a D-Link Wireless Router plugged into an unused port on the HUB (the DSL Modem and Linksys do not have any available ports). The Laptop connects to the wireless connection perfectly and can access the internet with no problem. We set up all the security correctly as well.
What we CANNOT do, is get access to the server hard drive. How do we get the Laptop to LOGIN or even just see the server hard drive? When the hardwired workstations start up, they get the LOGIN in prompt for user ID and password. The Laptop is just booting up normal and sees the wireless connection. It never gets a prompt to login to the server and we cannot see it in Network places.
We do not want to hardwire the laptop as we use this in our conference room to access client files and it is moved around alot.
Thanks and sorry if this has been addressed, I am still searching but had not found the answer.
