Re: MS "UPTIME" ??? Like the UNIX command ???

Stan,

Server is the Display name for LanmanServer (Service name).

The Sharing tab is not visible if the Server service isn't running.

This will restore the Server service (lanmanserver) so it will be listed in
Services.msc.

Open Network Connections...
Start | Run | Type: ncpa.cpl | Click OK |
Right click Your Connection | Properties |General tab |
Install button | Highlight: Service | Add button |
Highlight: File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks | Click OK |
Close
-----

Workstation is the Display name for LanmanWorkstation (Service name).

The Background Intelligent Transfer Service service depends on
LanmanWorkstation.

The Workstation service is also needed for Local Users and Groups.

The Client for Microsoft Networks component is actually the Workstation
service.

To see the Workstation service listed in Services...

Network Connections | Right click: Your Connection | Properties | General
tab | Install button | Highlight: Client | Add button | Highlight: Client
for Microsoft Networks | Click OK | Close

Removing Client for Microsoft Networks Removes Other Services

Do you have the Server and/or Workstation services running?

That might be it.

No, I'll bet a nickel you have neither of those services running. ;-)
Let me know so I can make a note of it.

Neither one shows up in my services.msc list as running or not
running -- they're simply not there. If I had disabled them, they'd
be in the list, wouldn't they?

Do these work?

net /? or NET STATISTICS /?

Yes, each one gives a syntax summary in a few lines.
