Digital BW, The Print

I have never had any problem with any of it. I have never actually mapped !

I just put each of the computers on the network using the same network
name for each, give the appropriate permissions for folders etc. and they
were able to communicate. I communicate with three XP machines and one
Windows 98 as well as a Print Server (I think that's Win 2000) and one
printer on the network as well as a the wireless print server.

When I put something new on, it sometimes takes a bit of time for the
network to find it, but I ping the ip address of the computer and it finds
it okay.

It was a while ago all this was set up, but I know I didn't map a network
drive. I never used the Microsoft firewall.

Sorry if that is not much help.
