Q: My printer is connected to a Windows 2000 machine, and it is shared. Of my system (Win2k), I get access to the printer and shared folders. However, from my sisters computer (Windows 98), I get a prompt for a password when I try to add a network printer or the first computer by browsing Network Neighborhood.

Q: Maybe its just my imagination but I swear that My Network Places on my WinXP Pro machine is much slower and less reliable than the Network Neighborhood on my win98se machine.

If so, this is something that will probably be fixed by Microsoft in the future, or is there a current workaround? Thank you. RW

2010-09-02 / Software / 0 Comments

Q: I am looking to set up a very simple Windows fileserver. Can not go Linux.
