Re:Win XP, 2000 and 95/98 networks

Thanks Bill
One more question...
Do ALL the XP/2000/NT machines on the network have to have opportunistic locking turned off, or just the one used as the file server?
Cheers

Re:Win XP, 2000 and 95/98 networks

Sorry, Bill
It was TWO questions!
In the network of Win 2000, NT (SP4), XP and the other 95/98 computers, is there a preference as to which OS of the 2000, NT or XP should be used as the file server?
Cheers
Bill
