[PCB_FORUM] Re: OT operating system

[PCB_FORUM] OT operating systemKen,
        I had a similar problem with XP losing communication with Win2k
        machines. I noticed that XP was running a new service on the network
        card called "QoS Packet Scheduler". This new service is supposed
        to manage the network bandwidth between the various applications
        running on your machine, however in practice it sometimes does not
        allocate any bandwidth at all. 
    
        After reading some posts on the internet, I removed the service and
        have not had any network problems since.

        Caution: Check with your IT department before making any changes.

  Hi Patrick,
           I use XP Pro, but you'll have to update any machines that are 
networked to it. There are a couple of patches from Microsoft, or on your XP 
CD. There is also a protocol in Win2K that isn't supported by XP. I can't think 
of the name now (maybe BAWI). I got it to work, ping licenses, etc., but my fix 
isn't supported, and I lose the server once in a while. I haven't figured out 
how to print reliably yet. Had it, and lost it. Someone else can probably shed 
more light on it. I can write to a PDF okay, so can print from somewhere else. 
Otherwise, I really like XP. This is on a laptop, so portability and security 
is the real issue. Bottom line, it depends on what your network requirement is.

    For a new system, any strong feelings between W2K and XP Pro for Allegro?
