I have a Windows 2000 server and a client (windows 95). Please tell me how to connect the client to server as a LAN and server to client. That is, what I should do on server pc and what on client. I checked server which indicates the LAN in on.

when I tried to map drive, the msg says something like "drive not found" Please help me out. thanks

Should be fairly simple... Simplest way is to make sure that both machines are running in the same subnet. DHCP would be better.

i.e.
Server IP Address 192.168.1.1
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0

Client IP Address: 192.168.1.2
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0

They should then be visible via network neighborhood or My Network places.

Oh.. and make sure that you have set up the client user as a user account on the server.
