I'm running XP Pro.
I have three computers networked. Two have XP Pro, and I just replaced
W2K on the other with OEM XP Pro. It's been awhile since I networked any
of them. I'd like to get the new one on line. What do I need to do?
 
You'd start by seeking assistance in this newsgroup:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windowsxp.network_web
 
In addition to posting in ths networking group, It would be helpful to have
specifics.

What resources are you attempting to share. Are you using different user
Logins with different access requirements or teh Guest account, etc. WHAT
Problems are you having..

XP Pro OEM should make no difference.

Ah, I missed that NG, and posted to ... web_network.
I just want to share the C-drive of the new machine with the other
machines. My problem is where to start. I haven't done this for years. I
thought one just got on the new machine and use share properties, or
something like that. When I tried help it didn't make much sense.
Something like move the c-drive into the Shared folder for C. Odd. I
already put the machine on my local workgroup. I have an old W2000 MS
book that I think I used the last time, so maybe back to referencing it.
