Let me know when you get it figured out - I just want to print to a shared printer from my new laptop.
Other workstations can see and work on files on the laptop, but the laptop cannot see any other workstations. But, it's got the most beautiful screen savers - and that makes all the other "non-essential" quirks worthwhile! <g> Sami ----- Original Message ----- From: RJ Hendrickson To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 18, 2002 11:39 PM Subject: Re: XP-Home versus XP-Professional I've been using XP Pro now for several weeks. Happy to report no problems at all running R:Base (no crashes whatsoever), in fact almost no crashes with any software. It's also has some very slick utilities for handling digital photos. However, it has been a bear with regards to domain connection/security--my network guy and I spent hours fiddling with it to get it to log on to our Domain, and I am losing hair every time I try to access another workstation on the network. The security end of it is way too complicated for any but an expert in W2K networking. I think I'd prefer Win98 and the crashes to this overly complex OS. With the known internet security leaks that have been announced, it seems like it's designed to let everybody on the internet access your harddrive, but gawd help you if you want to access it from your own network! My 2 cents. RJ At 02:17 PM 4/15/2002, you wrote: Ben, Though I have not gotten R:Base on my new computer, so far I love XP Professional. I have run the basic MS stuff (Word, VB) and it all works fine. Also Return to Castle Wolfenstein works great - 3 weeks with no crashes. It boots quickly also. Actually, it has not crashed once in four weeks. However, if you do get XP Pro, be prepared to download all new drivers for modem ect... as they are constantly being released or updated. Jeff Does anyone have work experience with R:base using XP-Home versus XP-Professional? I would appreciate your comments.
