Cannot run exe file on server from client computer

[MisterC]

I'm trying to run an executable file (not just one, any executable) that exists on my windows 2003 server from a mapped network drive on a windows 2000 client computer.
I can run the exe files fine from windows xp client computers, but the windows 2000 client computers hang when I attempt it. I cannot find any errors in the logs - the computers just freeze up.
Can anyone help here?
Thanks very much.

Check yor AV software. Some prevent exe execution remotely.

Thanks for your reply.
I have tried disabling the antivirus software on the client computers (Norton AV 2006) but still no luck.

Possibly add the source windows server to the trusted sites in Internet Explorer. This can also be accomplished via group policy.

Hope This Helps,

Good Luck!
