Connection is not stable between XP Prof. workstation with &nbsp;Windows 2000 standard server.<br />
<br />
Recently brought five Dell P4 machine with XP Professional as workstation. With the same hub and the same cable connection to the windows 2000 Professional workstations with the windows 2000 standard server, network connectivity is ver stable.but not with the XP Professional workstation. I convert one of the XP Prof. workstation back to Windows 2000 Prof. workstation, that machine work fine. Is there any trick behind to connect XP Prof. workstation with Windowns 2000 server(most recent service pack is applied)?

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
