Which Operating System do I need for Networking?
I am going to network 4 computers together at a small business. 2 computers have XP Pro the other 2 have not been purchased yet. Can I buy 2 computers with XP Home and sucessfully network them or do I have to upgrade the new computers to XP Pro?
I would appreciate your help.
Thank-you gmc
The XP Home machines will work fine at an office as long as you do not try and join them to a Domain. However, the limit on netwroking XP Home machines is 5 total on a network meaning if you were to add 2 more machines, the Home machine would loose some ability to communicate.
