    Default W2k server compatability with WinXP clients

    Greetings,

    We have 10 new IBM A30 workstations w/ Windows XP Pro and
    wonder if problems using the server are due to the server
    having Windows 2000 server. What would be the best move
    to ensure the most efficient and trouble free networking?
    1. Take a step back and install W2K on all workstations?
    or
    2. Upgrade the server to a more current OS?
    or
    If all Service Packs are installed any other thechniques
    to improve the compatability between W2K and WXPro
    without changing OSs?
    Thanks
    CB

    XP clients should wotk just fine with Windows 2000 servers. Could you give
    some details about the issue or issues you are having?
