Can you ping the server?? If you cant syncronize, many network functions will be disabled (such as printing etc) even though you are physically connected to the server network. I have come across many XP computers where the offline cache becomes corrupt and prevents syncing. In explorer try tools, folder options, off line files. Hold down shift and cntrl and click on delete files (also helps looking north). This will reset the offline cache and after a reboot should allow the PC to sync. Then try and access the network shares. Hope this helps
