RE: Adding a NT 4 stand alone server

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

thanks for getting back to me. I wasn't sure about the renaming, but I knew
disjoining and rejoining from NT would probably do it. I just needed that
little push.

I was originally trying to make it so a win 95 machine could hook up to
network printers that are on the NT server since it didn't connect to the SBS
server. I'm still having trouble, however. It is still asking for a
password for $IPC (or maybe IPC$). I'm seeing how adding the NT to the
administrators group works.

Thank you for you help. It is much appreciated. (By the way, I didn't come
right out and say it, but it worked.) Also, what makes the NT any different
from a W2K workstation?
