Hi, Me agian,
Just wondering is there a way to have MS Windows Server 2003(with no passwords for the computer itself) to connect to my XP Pro. I need full instuructions to set up the network. The domain on server 2003 is KPSWA.
Nathaniel
P.S. they both have network cards.

Re: WP to serve Server 2003
Not entirely sure what you are after. If the 2003 Server is set up as a domain server and run by someone else, you will require permission and the entry of an admin password to join the domain. If this is two pc's only which you have set up to use the 2003 as a home server, you will need to use a crossover cable to connect them, or a small hub or switch unit and network cables if you wish to expand the network at any point. If you set it up, there is a configure my server page which comes up each restart with the various options available to be configured. Post back with details of your setup.

The thing about a domain is that you can't add a client to it unless you have admin permission on the domain controller. That's the point of a domain: security.
