XP/ME/98SE/2K Multi OS - Networking Issues

[snidercomm]

Techs,

Anyone know of a good general website with information for networking windows multiple os (98/ME/XP/2K) systems? MS is putting out so many operating systems they dont wanna play nice together anymore. Having many different issues trying to make all the computers on a network happy. If anyone has found a good resource for general tips on making a multi os network work please let me know.

We're running an NT network here, although in the process of shifting to a 2K Active Directory, and at the moment we've got all flavours of Windows running without any major problems......christ, we got rid of our last Win3.11 machine only a few months ago!!!! Scotsdude

You should have no real problems networking with different versions of windows - just ensure you have same client/protocols installed on each (usually client for micrsoft networks and tcp/ip).

http://www.wown.com

is a good resource.
