WINDOWS XP SERVICE PACKS

[Guest]

Hi. Is it possible to save the service pack to a different folder aside from
the one windows automatically uses when it downloads it? I want to download
SP2 then run it on my pc which doesnt have internet connection. And if it is
not possible, where does windows stores the service packs? Can I just have it
copied to a cd then run the cd to my other pc? Please enlighten me on this.
Thank you very much.

Hi, Sirs! Thank you very much for the links. I was able to download the SP2
although I just had to be patient downloading a 266 mb file. It took me 75
hours to download it. Too bad my broadband connection is down and had to make
it through dial up. Anyway, I guess, everything's worth it. My PC now has
SP2. Again, thank you very much.

One more question, sirs. Why does my win98 PC can't use the resources in my
Win XP network? Every PC belongs to the same workgroup, i don't have a
domain, and all PC's in my network can be seen at the Network Neighborhood of
my Win 98, and Win 98 can connect to the internet now but just can't access
my printers or my shared documents. Everytime I try, I have to enter a
password but it doesn't accept my password. The dialog box says, "Enter
Network Password. You must supply a password to make this connection.
Resources: \\ComputerNameIamTryingToAccess\IPC$_____" I supplied my passwords
but none of them got accepted. Is there any default password or something?
What should I have to do?

On the Win98 PC you should be using NetBIOS over IP. If the default protocol is NetBEUI you
"may" get that error.

Hi. Good morning! Thanks for the prompt reply. But how would I know what is
my default protocol? In my Win 98 PC, I have the following information in my
Network Neighborhood Configuration Tab:
NetBEUI -> CNET PRO200 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter
TCP/IP -> CNET PRO200 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter
TCP/IP -> Dial up Adapter

Do I have to remove the NetBEUI? Thanks again.

Remove NetBEUI.
