RE: OT XP/NT4 Question

["Ian Lowe" <ian@xxxxxxx>]

Yes, *BUT* expect it to be mind-numbingly unreliable and slow.

On our home network, we have a W2K Server, an NT4 box, and XP-Pro and
W98
Clients.

XP Pro is the most unreliable client yet! it does *something* every now
and
then when browsing a share, and throws Megs at a time across the wire
for
god-knows-what.

Myself and Jenni staged out XP-Pro "upgrade" I went first, and
found that
opening office documents took *forever* from the W2K server. Jenni's W98
and
W2K installs were lightning fast, XP pro was plain crap.

Now Jenni has updated, she gets the same behaviour...

needless to say, there is no Technote that explains, or even admits
this
behaviour.

As an aside, make sure you turn off "off-line files". this little
gem
basically makes XP copy *EVERYTHING* you access on the share to the
local
machine.

Can anyone tell me if XP Pro can connect to an NT server and NTFS
share?

Am getting new laptop which will on the odd  occasion need to
connect
to my network and need to specify either XP/2000/NT when they order
it.

Cheers

Paul
