Need a little help here since I am not an Net Eng.. I am
running two computers through an A/B swichbox. Both are
going into a hub, tyhen into a DSL modem.
Computer A is Windows XP
Computer B is Windows 2000

I would like both of these machines to see and interact
with one another (even for just to print) any help would
be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
 
If your XP box is XP Home, then you'll only be able to set up a Workgroup.
Right click on My Computer, select the Computer Name tab and give your
computer a name you'd like to identify it with to the rest of the workgroup.
Below that, you should see a button for creating/joining a workgroup.

On the 2000 box do the same thing but instead of creating a workgroup, click
the button to join one.
