I have found many posts on this, but nothing I have found has fixed the issue. I am new to this, just trying to get a database server up. I am on a hosted virtual server, so I was not the one to build the virtual machine. I can ping localhost. I can see C$ is setup correctly in Computer Management Shares. I am currently on use on the system and I have admin privilege.
When I do a net view, I get a system error 6118 'The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available' so I am looking there also.
