RE: Home networking without NetBios

["James,Daniel" <Daniel.James@xxxxxxx>]

Paul

Thanks for this, it still leaves the mystery in my mind of why Mr Gates
makes it nigh on impossible for someone to build a peer to peer network
using XP... or am I being synical?

I'll stick with NetBios for now though, as spending Christmas
configuring
machines does not appeal :-)

Yours (one very anti WinXP!)

Daniel

Daniel,

Your choices are pretty much:

1) stay with NetBIOS - nice & simple

2) Use Active Directory & DDNS - very much less simple!

You pays yer money and you takes yer choice.... of course you only have the
choice if your "server" running Win2K is actually running win2K
server, not 
Win2K professional...
