I'm new to XP and am setting up some new PCs in our church, which has an
NT4 server using a domain. Server IP is 10.0.0.1. I set the XP IP to
10.0.0.100 with the same subnet mask. I cannot even ping the server or a PC
running ME. All are connected through a SOHO switch. The XP by default set
itself up with the default workgroup name. I wouldn't have thought I would
need to move it into the domain or need DNS just to ping by IP, but is that
the case?
I don't really have a need for the domain. We've only got 10 PCs so a PTP
workgroup setup should be fine and all PCs but one will be moved to XP Pro
in the next few weeks.
Thanks!
