I think I've got most of it sorted out. I can run games and stuff, I just need to get IE to chill out a bit and a antivirus 4 it. (NAV and pc-cillin don work).
On a sort of related note, is there a list some where of all those usefull commands for the "run" box?? I have been playing around with 'services.msc' and 'gpedit.msc'. 'gpedit.msc' in perticular is very powerfull and u can change almost anything.
Using remote desktop to access it is differant as it dosent shut the user out of server 2003 while u do it so u can have multiple people use the comp as a server! wow a real word aplication 4 it! lol.
*edit* What I HAVE managed to do now is preety good (read DUMB) I cant access one computer to the other. Its like they arnt connected properly. But it was working b4 and the internet is still shared! I just cant access through remote desktop or my shortcuts to the other comp. I turned off the firewall and checked all the setting I could. WTF????
I can ping from the 2nd comp (s2k3) to my main (winxp) but I CANT ping the 2nd comp from the first. It says all packets lost. The prob then is on the xp machine?
