Netwoek issue on iBook 933 w/ Panther

[maclamb]

I continue to have problems with my panther/10.3.2 based iBook G4/933 connecting to Windows 2000 PCs

It sees my windows network server fine - but when I click on it and connect all but one folder is explorable - the one I want, of cousrse.
Restarting , sleeping, turning airport on and off - nothing seems to help.
Ths is really frustrtating and one of the main complaints I have about the mac - though its windows networking has improved over jaguar - which REALLY sucked for me

Any ideas?

This may be a moot point as I plan to sell the laptop as soon as a new G5 DP comes out - but for now I'm really stuck - have to use my dell!
Help!

why dont you put every thing in the folder which is accesible
no...you are right, networking is crappy, and many times my ibook doesnt see other comps in the network. But when it does I can access the shared folder..Dumb question but the folder you trying to see is shared?

thanks -
Not a dumb question

The folder itself is not shared, but the drive it is on is shared - good point I'll try sharing the folder itself.
And, my iBook USED TO see the shared drive and its contents - now just either shows a folder icon and shows no contents or gives an "alias is not accessible" message when I click on the icon of some of the folders from the shared drive i dragged to my desktop when last I COULD see the folders on the drive.
if that makes sense....

Yes, the networking is better but sucks sufficiently to keep me from using it in a production all-windows environment - like work...
