What is the best way to connect computers running winXP to
a file server with domain. I have previously set up windows
98 computers to connect no problem. ie: setup their windows
logon and password to the same as their logon and password
to acces the domain. With winXP though, the way I have done
it to date is to create a workgroup, which then seems to
allow them to browse the file server also. I was trying a
few things out on a new pc running winXP today, and found
that I could only connect to a domain if I was logged on as
an administrator of the Windows2000 server. Its all very
confusing to me. Was wondering if anyone could let me know
the best practise for setting up a network of winXP
computers accessing a domain.
Thanks
