Thank you in advance for any help you may provide.

Ok. So I need to install an XP client that was part of a previous
network into a whole new network comprised of multiple servers and
clients, all of which are XP.

What is the simplest, easiest way to do this?

Will I need to use a network set up disk for all these 40+ computers
and restart the whole network set up even tho I only want to add one XP
client to an existent network?

I can provide any information you may need.

Thanks again and Cheers!

Richard,

No doubt! and without sounding like a total loser....how do I do that?

I mean can I use a thmbdrive and just replicate the settings from a
particular machine into the new machine that needs to join...

and how do I do it?

Thanks and Cheers!

Joshua

Why not look at the network settings on one PC that's already connected to
the network and replicate those settings on the "new" computer?

Open Network Connections in Control Panel, right-click the active network
connection and select Properties, double-click the TCP/IP entry in the list
and check the settings there. Also right-click My Computer and select
Properties, then the Computer Name tab.
