I have a few users using Wireless access to my network. Everything is cool. One user downloaded Service Pack 1 for XP and loaded it on his windows XP Home laptop. Now all of a sudden he can't acess the one Windows 2000 server. I can access all the other servers by putting in his user name and password for the network but the 2000 server says he doesn't have permission anymore. What changed?? Help!!! That's where all the database he works with is stored. Hard wired it's fine with the user name and password, just bad wireless. Help!

You cannot network Windows XP Home, only WorkGroup. However, if his wireless setup is correct, he should be able to put a shortcut on his desktop pointing to the path on the network server where his files are stored.

I know you can't network XP Home. But you can access network resources by putting in your network name and password when it asks you while browsing. He can do that on all servers except the Windows 2000 server. Like I said he used to be able to get to that one also before he installed the XP service pack. Poster rated this answer.
