Unable to view file 'sharing' or 'properties' info

I have just set up a tiny LAN with a router an XPhome pc
and a WIN2000pro pc. Everything else is working fine
(print server mapped folders to XP pc, internet
connections, firewalls etc.) EXCEPT I cannot share any
folders on the 2000 pc. Right clicking the drop down menus
gets no response when clicking the "sharing" option (nor
any error msgs); I've also noticed that the "properties"
option is also getting no response, which is why I'm
posting here instead of a network-related topic.

I'm scratching my head- I can see the two pcs in the
workgroup from either machine, I can connect to mapped
folders on the XP pc from the 2000, but there it's just
not letting me share a folder on the 2000.

Additional info: Have admin rights on both machines; have
ms file and print sharing installed (print server works
fine); using a D-link router connecting to a DSL modem
(PPPoE); all 2000 service packs/patches/updates have been
installed.

This is getting on my last nerve- any advice?

HI
First go to services and check whether all required
services are started or not and if any service's status is
starting or stopping then double click on it and then go
to properties and then disable... after that restart the
system .....mostly u r done....

Bye
