Network access problem XP Home
Hi, I have a problem accessing my network. On my laptop I have 3 different networking interfaces, of which 2 are disabled. The one that is not disabled, provides a connection to the LAN-switch. From there I have my internet connection, which works fine. But from the LAN-switch I should also be able to access 2 Samba servers, which goes fine from W2k and W95. XP refuses to let me use this 1 network interface for both, as I do on the other computers as well. Can someone please help me out?

Problem with Cisco VPN Client 3.5.x on Win XP Home Network
I had one heck of a time trying to get my two XP Home pcs to share files, and found I had to unstall the Cisco VPN 3.5.X client from both machines to make it work. I've had this experience before...my guess is the VPN client must install its own fire wall, which I can't figure out how to configure. I really need to have the VPN client installed to access systems at work. Does anybody have any ideas or suggestions on how to work around this?

Problems upgrading from XP Home to XP Pro
I bought a Toshiba Satellite A55-S3063 running Windows XP Home last fall and have been pretty happy with it until today. This morning, I upgraded the OS to Windows XP Pro (with SP 2), and in a very short period of time I already have observed the following problems, and I suspect more are waiting to be discovered. I already called Toshiba's customer support line, and they were completely unhelpful, suggesting only that I "do a Google search" for possible answers (which, however, is exactly what I did). Here are the problems, in descending order of annoyance: 1. The scroll function on my touchpad has stopped working. When I went to Control Panel > Mouse, I found that the only tab for controlling anything touchpad related is labeled "TouchPad On/Off," and the touchpad is indeed on. I downloaded and installed the Alps Pointing driver from Toshiba's website (twice), but this didn't seem to have any effect--nothing changed either in Control Panel or in the behavior of the touchpad. 2. The Start > Help and Support function (standard Windows help, customized for Toshiba) hangs when I request a search of Help topics. (This is the one where my friendly Toshiba rep suggested that I Google a solution.) 3. Clicking on hyperlinks within emails now open up the Open File dialog, rather than opening up the hyperlink! Any help would be GREATLY appreciated... I would never do an upgrade I would do a fresh install if you had xp home all you neede...

problem with printing in a small home network under win xp pro
I have 2 computers in a home network. Both are with win xp pro, first connected to a siemens router through ethernet connection (pc), the second with wireless stick (laptop). Both computers see each other, I can exchange files between them and so on. PC is connected with two printers (with first through LPT, with 2nd through USB). From PC there are no problems with printing. From Laptop however, I can send the documents for printing, but there is no reaction from printers. I have installed both printers on laptop with the option "add printer -> a network printer, or a printer attached ...

Pervasive v.8.0 & XP HOME
I have 5 Pc, --> a"server" with W XP Pro , a "client" with Xp Pro, and 3 "clients" with Win 98 Se. I have the opportunity to upgrade those with win 98 Se , installing a brand new OEM Win Xp Home, with a small expense... Yes, i know that il will be perfect to upgrade all with W xp Pro, but it will be much more expensive... Now, all the network (Nics 3com, Hub 3com, 100Mbps Tcp/ip protocol) works very vell. I would upgrade only for security, stability, not for any particular problem. Someone had trouble with Win xp Home and pervasive v.8 ? In particular i refer...
Problem with Cisco VPN Client 3.5.x on Win XP Home Network
I had one heck of a time trying to get my two XP Home pcs to share files, and found I had to unstall the Cisco VPN 3.5.X client from both machines to make it work. I've had this experience before...my guess is the VPN client must install its own fire wall, which I can't figure out how to configure. I really need to have the VPN client installed to access systems at work. Does anybody have any ideas or suggestions on how to work around this? Thanks Scott Scott Millman wrote: > I had one heck of a time trying to get my two XP Home pcs to share > files, and found I had t...
windows XP home to XP Pro problem
I am trying to upgrade from XP Home to XP pro, and every time that i try i get a message that my DVD-RAM driver is not compatable with Pro, and may not work once the install is complete, as the install continues the dvd stops spinning and the install stalls out and i have to restore the computer to the original XP home.

I really need XP pro for work and the sooner i can get this clarified the better. Thanks in ad...
Problems upgrading from XP Home to XP Pro
I bought a Toshiba Satellite A55-S3063 running Windows XP Home last fall and have been pretty happy with it until today. This morning, I upgraded the OS to Windows XP Pro (with SP 2), and in a very short period of time I already have observed the following problems, and I suspect more are waiting to be discovered. I already called Toshiba's customer support line, and they were completely unhelpful, suggesting only that I "do a Google search" for possible answers (which, however, is exactly what I did). Here are the problems, in descending order of annoyance: 1. The scroll function on my touchpad has stopped working. When I went to Control Panel > Mouse, I found that the only tab for controlling anything touchpad related is labeled "TouchPad On/Off," and the touchpad is indeed on. I downloaded and installed the Alps Pointing driver from Toshiba's website (twice), but this didn't seem to have any effect--nothing changed either in Control Panel or in the behavior of the touchpad. 2. The Start > Help and Support function (standard Windows help, customized for Toshiba) hangs when I request a search of Help topics. (This is the one where my friendly Toshiba rep suggested that I Google a solution.) 3. Clicking on hyperlinks within emails now open up the Open File dialog, rather than opening up the hyperlink! Any help would be GREATLY appreciated... I would never do an upgrade I would do a fresh install if you had xp home all you neede...
