Which is the best newsgroup to ask questions regarding networking protocols?
Specifically, I have a network with the following-
Several WinXP computers (1 home, 2 Professional)
Windows 2000 computer
Novell Netware 3.2 (ipx/spx)
Windows ME
On this network, I need to share files & printers between any and all
computers listed above.
Question is, which protocols do I absolutely have to have? Right now the
network is pretty slow when printing, possibly because too many protocols
are loaded. I know I need IPX/SPX to connect to the Netware server (I use
the Novell client to do so on the WinME and WinXP Home machines, since
Microsoft doesn't include IPX/SPX for those). Can everything else run on
TCP/IP?
Thanks!
