Re: XP Networking with NT4 Server

Thanks Chuck for the reply,

As stated all other computers running Win98SE, the "Spare" computer is the
name the Computer uses to gain access the the NT4 Network. The other
computers are configured by the User Name for the person using the
computer.ie: "Bills" for My workstation, the computer I use in my office.

All computers are setup for User-level access as determined by the login
rights to the network. All users are currently set-up to have access to the
full domain with full access.

All users login in using there assigned name to access the network. Except
for the new computer which only has required a user name to access the
network resources of the server and workstations. After you apply the users
name and password, all you see are the workstation you logged in to and the
printers attached, but you are denied access the files and printers.

Since I wrote the last message, I went home and got my Laptop to try to
connect to the company NT network. Laptop running XP Home SP2 also. Same
indication when I install the new network on the laptop, I can access all
files and printers directly on the server, but none of the other computers
allow access, although they are all shown on the network.

We are still trying....
