Home network with XPpro & win2000

[gateT]

Will these two OS see each other?

Built a system for a friend of mine with XPpro but the other 2 computers at his house have win2000. They don't seem to want to talk to each other. If I ran the XP network wizard and created the floppy at the end,then ran it on the other 2 would that work? The 2 that he has now network fine together, I don't want to screw that up by running the XP wizard on them.

Never had a win2000 system so I don't know.

In Network's case, these Wizards, and exchange Floppies are usually a Gate to ?No Where?.

Learn how to configure both OS manually.

Thanks, I will access these links when I can sit down in front of his systems.

BTW can win2000 see files on a ntfs formated drive? I would guess that it could,but like I said never used anything with 2000.
