How do I make my WIN XP Pro look like a WIN2000 on a
network or to other machines, I do not want to format the
hardrive and install Win2000, I know you can make a WINXP
machine look like a Win2000.

Any Help would be greatful

Please reply to this message in the news group (not by E-mail) with
more information to help other people understand your question.

What exactly do you mean by "make a WINXP machine look like a
Win2000"? What is there about WINXP that doesn't look like Win2000?
What do you want to change?

The more details you give, the more likely it is that someone can give
a good answer.

We are having network problems, WIN XP machines are not
connecting to the network very well, we are currently in
Iraq. All the Win 2000 machines talk well to the
servers, but as soon as the serves sees the WIN XP as a
operating system, it kinda shuns that spefic compter,
like it is lower in the ladder. All we can think is that
a setting at the server wants only Win 2000 type machines.

Any Help would be helpful.

I'm sorry, but I don't know of any way to make XP look like 2000.
Without any details of your network, I'm unable to give any other
suggestions.

Thank You any way, we found a DNS server that might have
causing the problem, both DNS server address need to be
entered into the WIN XP Machine, where as in the 2000 OS
only one DNS IP address needs to be entered, short term
fix. Thank You
