Hi Guys and Gals,, Did you people know that XP home will only network with 5 PC's peer to peer, ?? it doesn't support domain networking at all and has a maximium of 5 PC's it can network with...
I just saw this in an M$ email (directly from M$)... ================================================================== Important Notice: No Domain support in Windows XP Home edition Windows XP Home edition is designed exclusively for home use. As such it enables peer-to-peer networking for a maximum of 5 PC’s, but DOES NOT support centralized, domain-based networking. Windows XP Professional is designed for businesses of all sizes and is required for a PC to connect to a domain. In addition, the Professional edition provides a number of important features for business in areas of mobile computing and business-class security. To ensure customer satisfaction, only propose Windows XP Professional for small business, government, schools and corporate customers. For more information on important differences between the Home and Professional =================================================================== Thought you guys might find that interesting if you are setting up a samba network at home and want to use a domain name setup... with XP Home, you can't. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Paul Cox Sent: Wednesday, 24 October 2001 12:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] How do I release my IP number?

I think you emailed me about this, but I accidently deleted your message. =) Anyway, it's a perl script that appends it to my .signature file, and then that's piped into my mail client's signature (I use Mutt). It's easier than it sounds. The original script (attached as uptime.bak.pl) I got from Vincent Danen. I then modified it (attached as uptime.pl) to make it display a little differently. It can also write out the completed sig to a file, but that's currently commented out, so you'll have to uncomment it. Then you can just run it in a cron job every 5 mintues or something. Oh, and my setting for Mutt (to be but in your muttrc): set signature='~/bin/uptime.pl ~/.signature|' If you have any other questions, just let me know. -- Paul Cox <paul at coxcentral dot com> Kernel: 2.4.8-26mdk - Uptime: 2 days 22 hours 42 minutes.
