I expect it's the same problem getting win 7 to work with samba.
See http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Windows7 for the
two registry entries required to allow a win 7 client to
work with a workgroup, instead of the new win 7 only method.

Thanks Dave.

I'll check into that registry entry soon.

My most recent attempt was to follow some
instructions from Win 7 to setup a program -
APServer.exe on NetBook and copy it to the Win2K
computer on the network. When I tried to run the
program it ended up in a mess. It didn't know what
Win2k was. The computers are about 25' apart.

Hi again Dave.

I ran across this tonight:

http://www.windows7download.com/win7-strong-dc-x64/xmnyhcnu.html

StrongDC++ is a client for sharing files in Direct
Connect network. It is modification of program
DC++ and it brings many news and features from
other modification. Since DC++ is developed under
GNU/GPL, you can download source and modify it.

Good luck!
