I'm part the way there. I have 3 roommates, each with their own computers, and we are networked peer to peer via a linksys router/4-port switch. OS's are 1 Windoze 98, 2 XP's, and my (gasp) Windoze 2K (okay, I'm working on getting away from it, but I'm waiting for 4.6 final to come out before I take the plunge). Our network is very intermittant, esp. trying to connect the XP machines at all, and with giving the others access to my machine. I'm not even sure which protocol is in use; TCP/IP is installed on all of them, but so is Windows File and Printer sharing (which uses NetBIOS?). I've heard that XP is esp. evil about consistency on a network. I would like to use TCP/IP, but I have no clue about how to set it up.
