For a year I've been enjoying a small LAN with 4 pc's (one wireless) I could never hook up with just the TCP/IP protocol and had to add the IPX/SPX protocol to connect--all except one pc, that is--a wireless Sony Picturebook. they all run Windows XP.
Any guru's out there who know why I can't just have TCP/Ip and connect normally?
I ask because I'm experimenting with Xandros LInux right now and have it dual booted on several of the pc's. I have variable success in using a shared printer hooked to one of the Linux boxes over the MS network and wonder if it isn't some problem I've never understood about the MS netowrk. Everything works great between Linux boxes.
