Networking Issues

Yeah, I go through the sharing and security tab. I share
the hard drive on the other machine. However, it doesn't
allow me FULL & COMPLETE access to all the files and
progs. I am sure it has something to do with user
rights, etc. Especially since when I click on a folder
it says I don't have rights to access this folder. I am
not sure how to go about fixing this situation. I hoping
someone can help me.

I'm sorry, but It isn't possible to install/uninstall programs on a
different computer.

Windows XP Home Edition doesn't allow sharing the Documents and
Settings, Program Files, or Windows folders. I don't know why
Microsoft designed it that way.

I recently installed a new WS running XP Pro. The new WS
authenticates with the AD and the system logs on to the
network properly. After a brief period, the network
configuration is lost and the IP Config switches to
private IP addressing even though the system recognized
and accepted a valid DHCP configuration prior to network
loss.

I do not think that this is network hardware issue since
this issue only affects this recently installed WS. Any
ideas out there?

I have instlalled all of the current updates along with
XP SP1.

after upgrading to XP pro, my pc can no longer browse the
network. It can access internet through an adsl hub, and
can ping the other machines on the network, but they
cannot ping me, or i can not ping myself. Is this a
hardware problem with my adapter or is xp playing up?
there is a mix of windows xp pro, me and 98se machines on
the network and they work fine.
