Some really incorrect answers....if you want all of these machines to talk, make
sure you have tcp/ip protocol on all....ealier verions of windows default network
protocol was netbeiu....2000, nt, xp, me default is tcp/ip....as long as you have
tcpip protocol loaded, and the same workgroup name for all, with file/print sharing
loadded, everything will work...thanks
