Windows xp home
Can XP Home be setup for networking use?
At one point while connected to a LAN I was able to connect the company email Server (prior to connecting I would get a Logon box). Now that doesn't happen. Any ideas? No changes to the PC recently or at all. The email did go down and another one brought on-line. Thanks in advance. gmj |

Thanks in advance. gmj Is the company email server on a domain or workgroup? The one thing you can't do with XP Home is connect it to a domain. Other than that, and the fact that XP Home is limited to 5 simultaneous shared connections (XP Pro is limited to 10), XP Home is just as capable as XP Pro. What OS name and version is the email server running? Is the Guest account active on both computers, with identical passwords? Cheers, Chuck Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing. |
