    Windows 95 can' t see Windows 2000 server in Network Neighborhood so I can' t map drive. I try with "find computer" but still can' t see server. I use TCP/IP and all adresses are correct. I try to connect computer with Windows 98 to Windows 2000 server and it is working.
    Please help.
    Thanks!

    If you know the server name and share name you do not need network neighborhood.

    Just use windows explorer and tools~map network drive then put in what you want to connect with. For example

    \\big-server\good-share

    As to why the 95 client can't see a full list of other devices in network neighborhood - several possiblilties.

    First - how large is the network. I.e., # of servers, # of clients, # of network printers, # of subnets, routers, etc.
