576938 2007-08-06 02:13:00 I have 5 Win XP pro computers that I want to network. I have so far been unable to get them to connect through a hub. They were previously part of a network and got their network details from a server.
When I check the properties of my administrator user account it states that I cannot make system wide changes. Might I have to make changes in the registry?

576939 2007-08-06 02:37:00 Are all of them set to be a member of a domain??

That could be one reason why.

Right mouse / properties on my computer, on the desktop.

Computer name / change.

What are all of them on member of? A workgroup or a domain?
