Hi,
I am running a small network with about 20 clients most of which are win 98, a couple of Win2K and a WinXP (Home Edition)
They all share some of the server hard drives through the network.
The problems comes in right here.....
All other clients (other than XP) whenever they log on the network they are automaticaly connected to the network drives, however the XP client has to have a seperate logon to the server drive each time the user needs to access it. That happens with the email as well..... all mail come from a Microft Exchange server and all clients use Miicrosoft Outlook to view their email, when all of the other users open Outlook and view their messages the XP client has to provide UserName, Password and Domain name information on top of the initial authentication.
Is this a network configuration problem? Bad setup from my part? or something that the home edition does not support and the XP PRO does?
If anyone can help I would appreciate it...
