| Which OS is your server running? Windows 2000 Server? Windows 2003 Server? Where are you saving the document to? To the server or to the computer the document/file was created on? ---------------------------------------------- Work is for people who don't know how to surf Gateway Performance 1800 - P4 1.8gz, 512mb RAM, Nvidia GeForce 5200; SB Live Value; Windows XP Professional, Photoshop CS, Nikon D2H and D100 |

| This makes a little more sense. When you said "server", it led me to believe you had a true client/server network. You are running what is referred to as a peer to peer network. Again, if you had been more specific in your original post, it would have been easier to answer your question at the get-go. In a peer to peer network, several things to keep in mind, especially with WinXP (Pro or Home): 1. Make sure that name of the network is the same on all computers (i.e. workgroup, XYZ, whatever) 2. Make sure that SP2 is installed on each. Why? WinXP includes a built-in software firewall. If turned on, the original version would block one computer from seeing another. SP2 addressed this. If you haven't/don't plan on installing SP2, you will have to turn off the firewall on each computer for them to talk to each other. Make sure you have a router with a built in hardware firewall to protect you from being hacked. 3. Determine which folders on each computer you want to share (i.e. My Documents, Favorites, etc) and enable shareing on those. You might want to visit a local bookstore and get a book on Windows XP. ---------------------------------------------- Work is for people who don't know how to surf Gateway Performance 1800 - P4 1.8gz, 512mb RAM, Nvidia GeForce 5200; SB Live Value; Windows XP Professional, Photoshop CS, Nikon D2H and D100 |

Can you be a little more specific? What of the above did you try? This post was last edited by Jedi Master on Sunday, March 06, 2005 7:44:21 PM. |

| >>we have one that has pro and 2 that has home << You're response yesterday indicated that you were running WinXP Home. This new information sheds a lot of light as to the problem. WinXP Home and Pro set up peer to peer networks differently (there are ways to get them to talk nicely to each other, but that may be beyond the scope of this forum). The main reasons for using Pro would be file encryption (note that if you decide to use file encryption and loose the key, you're screwed), and the ability to connect to a Win2000/2003 domain. As you seem to be having a lot of problems, I would strongly recommend going with WinXP Home. It is easier to network and maintain. Again, if you had stated at the beginning you had a mix of WinXP Home and Pro computers, it would have been easier to halp. ---------------------------------------------- Work is for people who don't know how to surf Gateway Performance 1800 - P4 1.8gz, 512mb RAM, Nvidia GeForce 5200; SB Live Value; Windows XP Professional, Photoshop CS, Nikon D2H and D100 |
