    Config Windows 2000 Pro on Ethernet LAN with Windows XP host
    « on: April 11, 2008, 03:45:38 PM »
    HOST: Dell Dimension 4500 Desktop Windows XP Home Edition Service Tag: DZCCS11
    CLIENT: Dell Latitude cpt / Docking Station Windows 2000 Professional Edition Service Tag: 74HIM
    LAN: Ethernet, Lynksys Switch and twisted cable, 50 feet

    SITUATION: All functions working. LAN is at ‘100 Mbps Connected’
    HOST: All functions working
    CLIENT: All functions working except not talking to HOST or passing thru to ISP

    PROBLEM: When I use the XP HOST Network Wizard to set-up the LAN and burn a disk as directed for configuring the CLIENT PC the disc will not load into the Latitude CLIENT.

    QUESTION: What information is on the configuration disc I made from the Network Wizard on the HOST XP PC? What information do I need to input manually in the 2000 Professional PC? How do I get there in the Administrator Mode?

    THANKS,
    Al Barrs
