Windows XP install

by mick@work . Updated 24 years, 9 months ago

Thanks to those who answered my earlier queries, (DrSean & others), re installing XP Professional.

I managed to successfully install it on 12 out of 14 PII machines with 64 Mb or Ram.

MORE QUERIES:

On the win98 machines still in the workgroup they log onto the workgroup ok and see the workgroup, i.e. the require a username, password and the workgroup name.

The XP machines see the workgroup ok, can share printers etc ok but on logon they will not accept the correct password. Insteada user can log on without entering any password. Also the logon screen only has a username and password field – no workgroup name is present.

I suspect the XP mahines are not set to log onto the workgroup??

Any ideas how to force them to use a workgroup logon.

The Win98 machines are set to a client for MS Networks logon with a logon to a NNT domain selected but i can’t find a similiar screen in XP.

Thanks in anticipation.

mick!
