    I'm trying to set up a home network with 2 XP and 1 Win2K through a Linksys router, which is connected to a cable. The primary reason for the network is file sharing and printer connection.

    I used the networking wizard in Win XP only to find out I can connect with everything but 2K. I went to various sites looking for the networking answer (including MS) and can't find out how to do it.

    I'd really appreciate something pointing me to information on how to do this!

    Thanks.
    Gary

    Oops, forgot to mention...

    ...both Win2K and XP are professional editions.

    I agree with Maggie, the Network Wizard is evil, and you should always set up networks manually. I knwo most people dont know how, but you could ask how here or look around the net for help, or buy a text book on it. If it was easy to set networks up, i would be unemployed , so all hail the wizard! lol.
