Hey Jenny.....both problems resolved...thanks
Once computers were out of workgroup mode and entered in domain. Set server
to push the applications to the workstations when they logged in. Also set
the workstations DNS primary to the file servers ip address.. Now you log in,
it takes only moments to get to the desktop and i can send, and see the fax
console from each of the systems.
Thanks Again
Mark
