Hi Chuck,
I have tried following the steps under "Advance aka Classic File Sharing".
However when I tried to look for "Use simple file sharing", I do not see
anything under the View tab. I don't see any sub folders either. I checked
this twice today and once last week to double check.
The accounts are all active (for both server side and pc side). Not disabled.
Information about our LAN:
1. The server is not used by anyone. It's not used as a desktop. There's
nothing installed so not worthwile to be used as desktop! :D
2. There are 11 employees but only 10 use computers. Plus another 2 which
is temporarily sharing the network (another company). So to say there are 12
users.
3. Desktop = 10, laptop = 3 (1 of which is connected perhaps 1 - 2 hrs a
day to transfer data in & out)
4. Sometimes the desktop/laptop are shared because there is a lack of
resource. That's why there is a need for multiple accounts. Not all
desktop/laptop has microsoft office installed.
5. There is... There used to be more users. At the moment the number will
not increase/decrease for the next 2-3 months.
By the way, the server is Windows 2000 & NTFS ready. In the near future we
are adding 2 new pcs into the network. So there will be 2 extra pc connected
to server. We have 15 CAL so we're still within that number.
Laptop / PC OS:
1 tablet PC - XP Professional
2 laptop - 1 XP Professional, 1 XP Home (the one that connects 1 - 2 hrs a
day)
10 - 1 XP Professional, 4 XP Home, 4 Win ME, 1 Server 2000 (This is our 2nd
server which is used as desktop temporarily. Absolutely no one has access to
this server by the way.)
In about 2 - 3 months, all PC/laptop will be upgraded to XP Professional.
Our 2nd server will be taken off the LAN when the upgrade happens.

If your computer is running XP Pro, and there is no selection for Simple File
Sharing, then the computer must be joined to a domain. When an XP Pro computer
is joined to a domain, SFS is disabled automatically, and there is no selection.
In this case, the whole situation changes. So the first thing you need to do is
tell me if you have a domain, or a workgroup.
If you're in a workgroup, and you have all of these expansion plans, you are
prime candidate for setting up a domain. If you have a domain, either I'm
misunderstanding how your accounts are setup, or you need to review the benefits
of having a domain, and simplify your setup.
