OK folks, here goes:
I have an XP Home machine that needs to be a client to a 2K server (already a host
to a third machine running 2k) and the Network Connections folder on the XP machine
is empty. I also apparently cannot create a new connection. I am allowed to go through
the create a new connection wizard, and have tried to create one manually as well,
but the connection I create never shows up. The network connections folder is absolutely
empty. Additionally, when I reun Ipconfig under the command prompt, it returns with
an internal error of the request is not supported and additional info is unable to
query host name (which I have input into all the network connections that fail to
appear) This machine came pre-installed with XP Home SP1, and has no XP specific
disc, only system recovery disks, all the XP files are on the hard drive in I386.
Ipconfig does exist in my System32 folder and it is identical to the one in the I386
folder. Do I need to purchase XP home with SP2, or is there a workaround for this?
Additional info. is the XP machine installed with a Linksys Wireless adapter which
can see the access point but not the router or the internet, so upgrading via the
internet is a no-go (I am typing this on the 2K host machine) HELP!
