Hi we cannot access any hosted shares from the server they are shared on, it 
is a Windows SBS 2003 SP2. We can see the shares we we use \\servername 
however when we try and access any shares inc the built in Windows shares we 
get an error message saying the share is not accessable and we may not have 
permssion to access it, however cleints can access the shares from their 
workstations and we are logging on as administrator to the server (we have 
even tried logging on as another user) and when we try \\localhost or 
\\127.0.0.1 we get an error message saying windows cannot find \\localhost

Any help would be appreciated.

You are logging on as admin, but admin won't necessarily have rights
to those shares unless you've enabled it - both on the share and on
the NTFS permissions. Are you sure Admin has sufficient rights?

Yes, we have checked and admin has full rights, we have even tried creating a 
new admin user and giving it rights and it can access sucessfully from a 
client pc just not from the server
