The network works with a W2K Server and W98 clients.
came in some new XP pro clients they login well and access and share all resourses.
But I notice that after some hours they appear as disconected if I browse the network from any W98 client.
My main problem is a Epson Matrix printer connected via LPT1 to a XP Client that must be shared to a Win98 Client.
I give to W98 user acces to the printer in the XP pro security ussing network ADMIN key.
When both computers are recently turn on I can print from W98 client, but hour later it appear disconected (I see a windows message asking for the "network Key" if I try to access the printer or the computer.
I can´t access "total control" to publsih the printer in the Active Directory as I see in XP manuals.
The network config of XP and W98 clients is:
192.167.7.xxx
gateway 192.167.7.7 (router)
DNS 200.118.2.66 and 200.118.2.66 (from ISP)
The W2k server is in 192.167.7.1
Any help

Also, make sure all of your XP workstations do not have any power saving feature that would somehow allow ACPI to shut down your Network card upon idle time. You should be able to change/check that setting using hardware property of the NIC card and look for the power saving setting.
