Open the option you found to MY NETWORK PLACES, then on the
left sidebar, there should be a box labeled "Other network
tasks" and the third item there is "setup a home or small
office network."
Select THAT and you get a wizard, follow the directions and
use the built-in help.
XP will create a disk with the settings that need to be
transferred to the other computers on the network, this is
an automatic function of the wizard.
| Thanks for the reply. I feel like I'm missing the obvious
here.
|
| Are you saying, Control Panel\Network Connections? That
shows me my existing
| connection. There's an option on the left for "Other
Places" and it has an
| option "My Network Places" but that doesn't seem to be the
right thing
| either.
|
| Sorry if I'm making this harder then it needs to be, but I
don't seem to see
| what I think I'm looking for.
|
| What I want to end up with is a floppy I can stick in a PC
with no operating
| sustem and boot to the network.
|
| What did I miss?
|
| Thanks
