We have a Windows 2000 Server and we cannot map a drive back to the server (example:\\servername\share) if we are on a different VLAN (switch) than the server is located. We can map to it using the servers Ip Addresss, but not using server name and share. Does anyone know what would cause this? Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Cannot map Drive to Windows 2000 Server

I never set the DNS up. I will have to figure out how to do this. This is the only nt server we have and my knowledge is limited. Would you set DNS up on a server that is setup as a workgroup and not a domain. Also, we are not actually logging on to the server, we are just mapping a drive to access the program on the server. I'm sure if this would make a difference.
