I didn't have any issues with installing XP Pro over XP Home on my laptop. I have issues with XP Pro though. Your network issues are probably XP Pro issues (as mine are). XP Pro screws down your system even tighter than Home so my Home and Win2K machines have a hell of a time connecting or viewing my one XP Pro machine's resources. I usually have to transfer stuff from/to the Pro Laptop when necessary.
I have an odd problem with my XP Laptop. We have a jet direct box here that I cannot reach. It's on the same subnet as me. Others can reach it just fine. We have good switches (3Coms) but I cannot work out what's wrong.
It appears that the only damn thing missing in Home vs. Pro is the ability to join a domain. I don't have domains, just a workgroup on my network so I don't need that. I put Pro on my laptop just to connect with one client who was using domains -- then I retired...
Wasn't there a registry hack that lets Home join a domain? -- Paul _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
