Okay I'll try to get this right on the first go......... What I have are 3 Windows XP Operating Systems Each has SP2 One is located in Montana, the other in Kansas, while still the other is in Illinois Now I've mastered the networking of 4 of our local machines here in the office Works great. But, here is what I've got The Illinois machine is running from behind a router, because of multiple machines at that location. The Illinois machine is running on a cable modem so ethernet isn't a prob. -- Cannot connect from there to here, even with the right configured address. Do you think that the router has anything to do with this? Do I have to write in both the generic IP address for the router and the machine IP or could I just put the local machine in and leave the router out? Next The next machine is in Kansas Runs the same XP SP2 but this one is on the DSL Would we expect any potential probs here as far as this machine being able to access our machines? Note: All of our security protocols have been written to reflect this networking activity. Any suggestion?
