For some reason, all our Windows XP machines connect to the network (and therefore the internet) perfectly with Automatic IP Addresses, but for some reason, the Windows 2000 Pro machine doesn't. We gave it a manual IP address, and manually typed in the Default Gateway and DNS server (just gave it the server's IP address - 192.168.0.1) and it works. Looks like automatic IP address and DNS server works much better on XP (SP2) than on 2000 Pro...

How can I get a Windows 2000 Professional PC to join a network of Windows XP PC's using Windows XP Internet Connection Sharing? I've set the Win2000 PC to automatic IP address, and I've renewed the IP address from the command prompt with &quot;ipconfig/renwe&quot;, but it's still not seeing the network or the internet.

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
