Maybe this will help, I just figured seeing how I
just went through all of this at my office. I have found with XP Pro when you
set up the network, instead of using a regular .com domain try using an address.
For example, I set up a XP Pro on our network, the internal communications was
fine, after I figured out how XP works <g> but getting outside of the
building was impossible. When you set up the networking properties, the DNS
setup, it asks for a hostname and a domain. The rest of our network workstations
are set up to use host# and tri-stateoutdoor.com as this does not work on XP
Pro. So instead, I used host# and 192.168.1.# as the domain and it is working
beautifully. Well, I hope I didn't just ramble on and this helps.

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!

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.

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.

Does anyone have work experience with R:base using XP-Home
versus
XP-Professional? I would appreciate your
comments.
