Has the laptop been properly configured to see the domain or workgroup.
I'm running WinXP but i know that a win2k computer is much more network complex than a win98. The upgrade probably didn't have enough info to properly configure.
We need more info like what type of server on network. Is the network a domain or workgroup (peer to peer).
What you have tried so far. Type of protocol being used?
BTW what kind of word is "nutters" ? X-)
Good luck. I'll watch this thread, see what you reply, and try to help.
