Using a workgroup, what pitfalls are there to mixing these
operating systems using W2000 Pro as a file server and the
XP systems as clients?

Charles,

I run a Win2k domain and I just bought a new machine with
XP Pro and it runs great as long as I don't try to access
a mapped network drive. The mapped network drive will
work one minute and then tell me the file is in use by
somebody else (even though I'm the only one on the
network) 10 seconds later. I also find that sometimes I
delete a file and then click refresh and the file is
there again. I have about 10 files on my Win2k domain
that cannot be deleted now. I never had any of these
problems before introducing XP.
