Because google usually leads here. Google does not answer questions, it just finds the pages.

It's really involved to explain, if you have a page of instructions, why not try it ?

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-2002

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...

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.

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. Smile | :)

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.

Once you are setting things.. it will automatically come fine.. right Wright?

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.
