Booting over network
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)
Posted by: Airdawg10
I've looked around a bit and haven't been able to get any simple answers and I'm beginning to think this isn't a simple issue... Here's what I want to do.
I have two comps on my home network both running XP Pro. I want to know if there is a way to boot one of them over the network so that no matter which copmuter I boot from, I get the same XP interface and access to the same files. I mean, I already have file sharing going on but I want the copmuters to act more like two terminals to the same set up, you know? Is there an easy way to do this or is this a pretty complicated process?
Are there major problems I should expect?
Any suggestions?

hey i thought id reply as i know how it feels to get no replys, im still waiting on http://www.opentechsupport.net/foru...7435#post247435 but ok.
Do u mean booting? press F8 to boot options, make sure you have a boot disk in the machine you wanting etc. and be networked e.g via CAT5 cable.
If installing its the same but you'll need the i386 folder etc on the other pc running like a server. Ive done NT4 before over network but not xp pro, i might try tho just for the experience.
do u know anything about making a copy of xp pro adding in Sp2 and getting it to boot and install good? im stuck on that aye.
