Im in the Tech Support field ....

An I was just wondering if someone could tell me about the network settings and things of that nature in windows xp.

The thing I do support on does not currently support windows xp all the way cause Microsoft has not told us all what it can do yet proply wont for a month or two. This is what they told us its like windows 2000 pro. An if someone calls up with windows xp were suppose to give it are "best effort". So basically what we feel like doing but I actually want to help people with there problem than just go sorry we dont support that call microsoft. I know how to get the ip address and release/renew it. But I been told you can customize settings for internet explorer something called passport or whatever Im just wondering what all that lets u do. An Internet Explorer 6 comes standard with that correct? Does it have a my computer icon and all that with control panel and a device manager or what? An is getting to the network properties the same as o say windows 2000?

Any Information you could give me would help Im tired of getting cussed at cause I dont know anything about windows xp because microsoft isnt telling my company what all it can do.
