mix of xp pro and xp home clients.

small job... cant buy a server.

doing it as a favor on another job really

All computers need to see each others computers and files.

xp pro fine... im sure xp home.... but thought i would check.

mapping drives from xp home to xp pro
mapping drives from xp home to xp home
mapping drives from xp pro to xp home
mapping drives from xp pro to xp pro

I believe all can be done using normal commands and sharing facilities on home and pro.

i.e. net use ,,, my computer mapped network drive and sharing out the hard drive of home or pro.

please clarify peeps.

Thanks in Advance.

it can be done but xp home has a limit on the number network connections. The maximum access sessions that are permitted to simultaneously connect over the network to Windows NT/W2K/XP host are ten (five for XP Home). This limit includes all transports and resource sharing protocols combined.

That rug really tied the room together, did it not?
