Is this a XP Media Center 2005 machine?

No it isn't XP media center 2005 machine.

It was a win98 then upgraded to winxp pro. That's when the network id got disabled.

I'll check the links,

Thanks a lot,

Hi Linney,

FYI...

It was the "Client for MS networking". Even though it was there, it was the version for win98, I assume.

Every thing is cool now,

Thanks a lot for the links, I got my answer from the first one.
