I have a home network consisting of 2 pcs runnning Windows 98SE, one laptop
running Windows XP Pro. On the 2 pcs the Control Panel/Network
Configuration Tab shows "Microsoft Family Logon". On my Xp, on the Control
Panel, Network Connections/Local Area Connection 4 status properties have
"Client for Microsoft Networks" checked. What's the difference? Should
they all be the same? Is there a site/tutorial where I can get a picture of
what these terms mean and the appropriate setting(s).
I am having no problems. I share files and several printers using the PCs
as servers. I'm about to add a third printer that will have its own server.
I recently acquired an Intel Apple Macbook and it networks fine also
although I havn't a clue to how anything on it works yet.
Microsoft Family Logon is available in Windows 98 and Me, but not in
XP. Specifying Microsoft Family Logon as the primary network logon
(in Control Panel > Network) makes the system display a menu of know
user names at boot time (like XP's Welcome Screen), so that you can
choose one of them. If you specify Client for Microsoft Networks or
Windows Logon as the primary network logon, you have to type the
desired user name.
There's no difference between the logon types when it comes to
networking computers.
