Is there a way to network 2 computers with one running
Windows 2000pro and the other with Windows XP home ed? I
have tried running the networking wizards and the 2 seem
to be incompatable. Has anyone found a way around this?
 
I've never tried, but I don't know why it wouldn't work. If you have only 2
computers, how are you connecting them? Are you using a hub, or are you
trying to run a cable directly from one computer to the other? If you are
doing the latter, you need to use a special type of cable calld a
crossconnect cable (you can get one at your local computer parts store).
