I tired Add printer...as a network printer, but it cannot see it. ths is strange since i can ping it. i even disabled the XP firewall, bu tno help. any further hints?

Neil, i have tried many things, an di think i did try your idea. but i will try it after work today. i am not sure it is as an issue of the installation software. Add Printer etc' is an operating system aspect, right? thanks again. -yc

Kooch, thanks. i did try your first idea a few times. actually, you can get to that Add Port in 2 different ways. nevertheless, it fails. actually, in one of these way, once i enter the IP and click enter, that window closes immediately as if nothing happened. as to your second idea: do you...

Neil, i forgot to mention that all PCs have same address for subnet mark, default gateway, dhcp server, and dns servers.

Thanks for the reply. ireleased/renewed on the router and DHCP worked fine for the other machine after that. the card is set to DHCP. so i gave up and called Dlink. this is a 3-4 yrs old hardware. waited a while. eventually the guy had me switch to static IP and that solved the problem. am...

hi, i am using office xp 2003. in Outlook, right click on Personal Folders|Properties... i see that the option automatically generate microsoft exchange views is checked. what does it mean? do i need it? i do not collaborate with anyone and am the only one using this outlook. thanks. -yc
