316781 2005-01-22 14:40:00 A tale of three PCs on a home LAN. Win2k on 2 PCs(NTFS),
WinXP on the third. ADSL router modem as the switch/hub.
All machines can access the WWW. But printer sharing is
a nightmare. File and device (CDRW) sharing is as bad.
Why is it soooo difficult? This is a home LAN. Two grandparents
and one (responsible) grand daughter. Paranoic security
is quite obscene.

This type of problem seems to be spoken of in hushed tones,
even by techs. If it's too complex to cover on this forum, can
anyone point me to a manual, or a web site or some other
resource that will give me step-by-step instructions. Pretty
please. The matter is driving me to drink! (more!)

Hi what is win2k. It does help if you have XP on all the machines you are going to network.

2k is short for 2000 same diff.

The same as when they called the Y2K bug the Y2K bug.

When the year 2000 came up.
