Fax from WinXP through Win2000 server

I cannot connect to the fax located on my Windows 2000
server from my Windows XP Pro.

The fax is a "US Robotics 28800 Fax/Modem".

Could this be because the server is part of a domain and
my machine is only part of a workgroup? (I do use a
username and password that is registred in the domain)

Given installation error: "Fax network client setup
failed. Please contact your system administrator."

Friendly regards

From Winxp you can only connect to a "shared" fax printer of a remote
machine. Windows 2000 does not support sharing of fax printer. Windows
Server 2003, SBS 2000 does.
