i have a home network with all computers running windows XP home - i want to
attach a windows 2000 pro computer to the same network - how can i do that
please because the the netsetup software i've used on all the XP computers
won't work on the 2000 pro computer -
Configure the Windows 2000 network connection with the TCP/IP settings
that the XP computers use. For most home networks, that means "obtain
an IP address automatically", which is the default for both XP and
2000.
It isn't strictly necessary, but specifying the same workgroup name on
all of the computers makes network access a little easier.
Right-click My Computer, click Properties, and click Properties >
Computer Name > Change.
