Small Network Setup Help.
Hi
Great site you have here(i really like the concept of a point-giving community).
THE SITUATION:
My mother has a small business with 5 computers,wich she wants on
a file-sharing network.She has received a qoute(from profesionals)
for about $150.
$150 is redicilous since I have already bought and installed
all the network-cards, we have already bought,and positioned,
the network-cables aswell as the HUB(8-port),thus, all that they have to do is
install/set-up the software.
THE REASON WHY I CANT DO IT MYSELF:
2 of these computers run WinXP,
2 runs on Win98
and 1 on Win2k.
I have the knowledge to install/configure a purely Win98 network to
work properly....but I lack knowledge, and experience, of WinNT-systems
and NT-networks.
WHAT I HAVE TRIED SO FAR:
I have set all the pc's to be on a
workgroup(via "my computer"-properties/network identification). The computers doesn't pick each
other up. I tried out the "domain"(I have never worked with it before)
type network but I get a error saying
that "the domain does not exist or could not be contacted".
I would really like to use the "workgroup" feature, do you have any advice?
Am i missing a step?
Must the network be on a "domain", if so, how can i set a domain up??
Any extra details will happily be supplied.
(Please excuse my spelling)
Cheers
