Shared Resources Are Not Listed
If the names of shared resources do not appear when you use the Browse dialog box in the pop-up interface or when you type net view at the MS-DOS command prompt, try the following:
- Make sure the network-adapter settings are correct. For more information, see "Specifying an External Transceiver" and "Checking and Changing Network-Adapter Settings," earlier in this section.
- Sometimes, when a computer in your workgroup is turned off or restarted, you won't be able to see other computers on the network for a few minutes. Wait a few minutes, and then check again.
- If you know the name of the shared directory or printer you want to connect to, try connecting to it by typing the path of the shared directory or printer in the Path field of the Disk Connections or Printer Connections dialog boxes. Or specify the path by using the net use command at the MS-DOS command prompt.
