Question : Network access between 2 windows servers (connected through switch)

I have 2 servers connected to each other through a Cisco unmanaged switch.
The first server is a Windows 2003 Small Business Server, and the second is a Windows Server 2008 Standard.

The Small Business Server is not part of any Workgroup, but has its own domain named "Computername" (member of Computername.local). The Windows Server 2008 is member of Workgroup.

I need to make a connection between the servers so I easily can transfer files between them (make file browsing and copying possible). I don't understand how to fix this. Hope someone can give me some help :)

Answer : Network access between 2 windows servers (connected through switch)

In server 2008 you have default firewall witch blocks alot of ports
first try to disale the firewall in 2008 server
then try to get conection from 2003 to 2008 by ip and not dns name .
if it works try dns name
if not rhen you need to add on hosts file in 2003 server the 2008 server
