    I'm trying to connect some old Win95 machines to a newer network running Windows 2000 server with XP workstations. Do I need to enter the IP address of my server or how would I get the Win95 machine to be recognized? Any and all guidance would be appreciated. Thanks, Eric

    You could have your 2000 Server hand out IP addresses to all of your clients using DHCP, or you could manually put in the IP address of your Win95 machine. After the ip address is set, just make sure "File and Print Sharing" is installed and you should be good to go.
