There's heaps of online guides, just google for one. That's what I did, but I forget what it was..... Christian No offense, but I don't really want to encourage the creation of another VB developer. - Larry Antram 22 Oct 2002
C# will attract all comers, where VB is for IT Journalists and managers - Michael P Butler 05-12-2002
Again, you can screw up a C/C++ program just as easily as a VB program. OK, maybe not as easily, but it's certainly doable. - Jamie Nordmeyer - 15-Nov-2002Christian Graus wrote: google I did my friend... But I thought it will be good if I have someone to 'tell' me what to do and like that. I have got a rough idea about it, I just wanted to confirm the same and check if I am going in right direction. If everyone can use google for all stuffs.. why is CP here?? I was born intelligent

Education ruined me!.It is easy, once you've done it, but it's not simple to write down for someone else to follow the steps. Since you have a server, I assume you have a domain set up. The WinXP client must have an account in the domain to do what you're trying to accomplish. Each user of the WinXP machine must also have a user account in the domain. The WinXP machine should also have the Simple security mode turned off - in this default mode, all requests to other machines are made using the Guest account, which isn't going to work. I'd set up the server first, configure the local NIC to use the 192.168.0.1 IP address, then follow the instructions for joining a domain in the WinXP Help. The best way to physically connect the two PCs is thru a hub or switch, but if you don't have one handy you can connect them directly with a crossover cable. If you run into problems (you will) be patient, and check out MS Technet - there's a bunch of good info there, though admittedly it can be hard to locate. You can also find some useful help at TechRepublic.com, though the quality has been falling for some time...

Education ruined me!.Keep posting your progress... it's really not hard, but it's hard to describe how to do this from memory. I subscribe to Einstein's advice - never memorize what you can look up - and since I have no XP machine handy, I can't easily give you step by step instructions. I've done it, but I don't recall the exact steps. If you hit a hard spot in the path, post again and we'll go from there. Otherwise, just wait for Richard D. to show up - he's a wizard at this stuff.:-D "How many times do I have to flush before you go away?" - Megan Forbes, on Management (12/5/2002)

Basically... I know nothing on networking the PCs.... I have 2 PCs at home. One is running on Win2K-Advanced Server.. and other on win XP. I want to connect these tow PCs and put them in network. As I said, I have no idea about networking. I will be happy, if anyone can help me to put in network. Finally... I should be able to share my files etc across the PCs... Thanks!

Education ruined me!.Search on the web, there's lots of advice. At home I have my fiancee's computer hooked up to mine with one simple "cross-over" network cable. Cheap and easy. And with Internet Connection Sharing (which you enable in the network properties) we share her DSL internet connection. Sweet. :-) Regards, Alvaro

Education ruined me!.A hub/switch is a good solution, and quite cheap. Be sure that all of the client hosts are assigned to the same workgroup and all should work out nicely. I've gone to find myself. If I should get back before I return, please keep me here.

Education ruined me!.Right! The first time I tried setting up a peer-to-peer net, using only the instructions in the Win95 Resource Kit, it was an exercise in frustration. But once you get one working, it's actually rather hard to screw up from then on. If you're really lazy, have all older versions of Windows, and don't need routing or Internet sharing, you can skip all the hard parts and use NetBEUI instead of TCP/IP. There's nothing at all to configure then. I've gone to find myself. If I should get back before I return, please keep me here.
