Unable to map network drive.

I'm using Windows Server 2003 and am unable to map a network drive after
setting up the shared folders.

I have some shared folders setup properly and they show hands underneath,
the shared folders do not show up when I browse for folder to map drive after
right clicking "My Computer" and clicking "Map Network Drive" then click the
"Browse" button, the picture below shows what I mean:

Under Knight-tech2 it should show Drives X, Y, and Z, but it doesn't.

What do I need to do?

 

can you map them via command line?

net use x: \\server\share_name

 

No, it gives System Error 67:
"The network name cannot be found."

OK, let's make sure the proper connectivity is there.

Can you ping the servers IP address?
Can you ping the serves NetBIOS name?
Can you ping the FQDN?

 

Yes the pings show up.

 

And it's the local machine/server.

I'm trying to map the drives/folder shares so it can be used for network
rendering.

Here's video of what I'm trying to accomplish:

Because the network shares aren't showing up in the browse dialog like is in
that video I can't get past step A.

And it affects ScreamerNet too as I can't get it to go.

The problem has to be with my Windows Server configuration, maybe a service
turned off, or something I'm missing, either way I hope someone has an answer.

 

Does the server itself show up in its own browse list?
Open a dos prompt and run ipconfig /all; whats the
node type?

 

Yes, the server shows up in it's own browse list, the problem is the shares
are not.

Node Type = Broadcast

 

Go into the properties the LAN connection and take the
check mark out of Client for Microsoft Networks and
File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks then
click ok and close. Now go back in and re-enable
them and see if the shares show up..

 

Is this a member of a domain or workgroup?

 

It's the domain controller.

 

Problem solved by using Search to search for computer via the computer name.

I realize that Knight-tech2 is the Domain of knight-tech.

 

So you say, after the search the name shows up in the browse
list? Interesting. I am not sure I follow your domain description.
Perhaps Knight-tech is the NetBIOS name of your W2k3 domain?
At first I was thinking there was an issue with the hyphen in the NetBIOS
name but I can't find any reference to support that theory. In theory the
W2k3 DC which is the DMB or domain master browser should also act
as the segment master browser (SMB) responsible for gathering the local
browse list and making it available to all clients who request it. There is
nothing special needed in a single segment environment to make browsing
work.
