Please elaborate, are you trying to do Remote Access to your DC(server)? or you just want to see if you're able to access your DC in the client's My Network Places? or are you trying to access a folder from your server? Have you tried mapping a drive from a client PC to your server? You don't have to go to My Network Places to locate your server and just find the shared folders, it's a lot simpler to just map a drive. Hope this helps. 2xgrump
