Hi,

I'd like to set up several diskless computers in a network with a central server running Windows XP.
Is it possible?
Are there related resources available on the Internet that you know?
Thanks,

As long as "several" is less than 5 (Windows XP has a limit of 4 simultaneous
in-bound connections), otherwise you'll have to up the ante to a Windows 200X
Server release.

Sure. Google "windows bootp server" and "windows bootp client" (without the
quotes). That'll bring you everything you're going to need to know...

Errata: XP Home Edition is limited to 5, XP Professional is limited to 10.

Curious, especially after seeing the popup that said the XP Pro "serving"
system was at its limit of four simultaneous connections...
