Networking 2 XP Systems with 1 WIN 2k system on Home LAN?

Id just like to know if this will work. Its through a Linksys Cable Router and the 2 XP systems are up, and the internet is working on both of them, but I am wondering if putting a 2k system in will make it harder to work with all the others?
 
No it will be just fine. You can have all different types of os's on a network without ever having a conflict.
 
I have a similar situation. I have two XP boxes and a W2K (advanced server box). I am running a Linksys 1 port router and a four port hub with an uplink port. I can get the two XP boxes to file share but I cant get the W2K box to do it. All three machines are able to share my color printer that is on one XP box and my LJ2100 that is on the other XP box. I have enabled sharing on the W2k machine and the drives show up on the XP machines but it wont let me access them.
