Dual boot network connection

I have a dual boot notebook with W2K Professional on one partition and W2K server on another partition. When I boot to W2K server, the machine connects to a local domain server, see drives, is seen and can be seen by other computers, connects to the internet (no proxy server), etc. When I boot to W2K Professional, it connects to the internet but that is all -- no drive connections. Network identification settings and IP addresses are all the same. Can anyone help?

By "drive connections" do you mean mapped network drives? You have to map these manually for each OS - setting them in the server isn't going to map them in 2000 Pro as well.

No, the computer appears not to be logged into the network. Network Neighborhood shows no external connections.

If you open up the Device Manager is there a networking card listed? If there is, you should find a Local Area Connection in Network and Dial-up Connections in the Control Panel. Make sure this is set up OK.

Yes, I think the network card setup is OK. The machine has only one network card, and there is access to the internet via the LAN. However, things like Symantec Live Update which requires file copying will not work. This computer can be seen on the LAN in Network Neighborhood by another computer on the network, but a "The network path was not found" results if the icon is clicked. I'm wondering if this isn't some network adapter binding issue -- does some binding get set in the bios during the installation of the last operating system (which does onnect the network)?

I shouldn't think it has anything to do with the BIOS.

Can you click Start, Run and type "ipconfig /all > C:\ipconfig.txt" (without the quotes) on both partitions, and then copy the contents of these two files to your next post. You should find that these are very similar.

Is it in the same workgroup/domain name as your server boot? Do you have file and print sharing enabled on pro and are you sharing anything.

If you ping by machine name do you get a response on your local network? If not look at your dns entries.
