I run both systems on a home network. I have had repeated problems losing dsl connectivity to the web. Last episode, I was on phone wit SBC for over two hours. No solution.
I gave up for now, and reloaded all dsl connection software on my XP machine, then set up the network again.
Short of reformating and reloading Win2000, I don't know how to fix that problem.
Sounds like propaganda from one of Microsoft's ads word for word, along with ShaggyBrown's response.
