| Hello

| Wondering if anyone knows of a website that gives clear directions -
| step-by-step - on how to connect 4 computers into a network.
|
| Trying to help someone who has a network that only sometimes works. He
| wants to "clear it out and start again". He wants to use Windows
| networking to connect the following:-
|
| 1 x Windows 2000 SP4 acting as the server
| 1 x XP home SP2
| 1 x XP pro SP2
| 1 also with Windows 2000 SP4
| 1 X printer that has a network card in it. Wants all 4 computers to use
| that.
| He also has cable broadband and uses Internet Explorer & Outlook Express.
|
| Thanks for any pointer to helpful sites.
