The main problem I ran into when using XP was its shitty built-in firewall. You've GOTTA disable it. Otherwise you're never gonna get it working. In fact, you won't get any error messages on any of the servers because it simply won't get through the firewall. You'll get a login server error on the client side, but that's about it. Try that first. If you can't get it working, let me know here and I'll see if I can't help you when I get home. This computer here at college has Windows 98.

That tells you how to disable the built in firewall.

I have windows xp pro. I use the firewall. and i have never had any problems so far with this. I guess some people just have better luck then others

My new HP laptop came with XP Home on it...and I loved it SO MUCH that three days later I REFORMATTED THE HARD DRIVE and put Win2k on it instead.
