Although this option isn't necessary for File and Printer Sharing, checking it may make troubleshooting the network a lot easier and less confusing. The Norton Personal Firewall also lets you put your computers in the "trusted zone" so their communication isn't interfered with.
Although neither the documentation nor any of the interactive messages says anything about it, my own experience is that systems newly added to the trusted zone may not be really trusted until the computer is rebooted. I'm not sure rebooting is necessary.
But I strongly suggest rebooting after any change to the Norton Personal Firewall "trusted zone" is prudent. The net result of all your configuration changes should be that all traffic on each of these four connections is seen by all your computers but is not seen on the Internet outside your home.
Be sure your File and Printer Sharing works only within your house. Don't allow your file shares to be visible on the Internet at all ; even a hint of its existence is certain to attract crackers.

If you use a hardware router, it establishes one connection with your internet service provider probably broadband then places all your computers directly on a "local area network". In this case none of your applications should try to establish a connection since one already exists. Most applications will correctly simply go ahead and use any existing network. The Internet Explorer web browser though may be configured to "dial a connection" regardless of any existing local area network.
In the case of using a hardware router, this behavior is incorrect. In this case you may need to explicitly configure your Internet Explorer networking options to "never dial". The Domain [third box] part of the login is never available. Group Policy control and functions are not available. Homes don't have a Microsoft Domain Controller and don't use Group Policies anyway, so not having these options considerably simplifies configuration and administration in the home context.
If you're trying to use Windows XP Home Edition in a school environment, the absence of any interface with a Microsoft Domain Controller and of Group Policies may present interesting problems.
Since my experience was in a home environment, I never ran across any of these interesting problems and so can't address them meaningfully. Gotchas Two things in particular really threw me. Firewalls Software Firewalls, whose job it is to keep your computer safe from the Internet, have default configurations that will almost certainly interfere with File and Printer Sharing.
To do this open the "properties" of the network connection, select the [Advanced] tab, and un-check the "Protect my computer or network" box. Ensure all your computers are members of the same "workgroup". Understand which IP addresses your computers will use, and configure these as "trusted addresses" in all software personal firewalls. My reading suggests this should only be necessary if some of the computers are older ones not running XP, but my experience suggests it's necessary even in an XP-only Home configuration.
It is apparently possible to use a different networking protocol suite for File and Printer Sharing if you have the operating system installation CD. But I don't have experience with using other networking protocol suites, and I don't see that it's necessary.

I know when Windows released XP, there was a Professional and Home edition, where the Home edition was less expensive that Professional. I've been looking to purchase the Home edition on Dell's website, but can't seem to find it. I'm looking for the full thing, not just the update. Does anyone know if Dell just stopped selling it?
Or is it hidden so well that I can't find it? Thanks much if anyone has any answers. With prepaid edition, a voucher has to be bought each time the computer is to be operated. All features of XP home edition are present.
It is also said to be OS of the century. It is a part of Windows NT family. Windows XP really became the best Microsoft Edition of its time. It still continues to be a great operating system.

Windows media player to play all sorts of media. For this edition to be installed successfully, the tablet PC must have a touchscreen device or tablet digitizer and a special control button for scrolling.
Here are some of the unique features associated with this edition. There are two sub-editions of this OS released by Microsoft to support bit hardware.
The former lost support from Microsoft in July after which no further security features updates were released for it. However, the latter continued to thrive coming with different service packs.
Each pack is an improvement on the earlier one as it contains one or more features the others does not have. In general, the bits editions have the unique advantage of increase in the maximum number of virtual memory that can be allocated. The two versions are also immune to certain viruses and malware that often attack bit systems. There are some devices such as ATMs, Cell Phones, thermostats and calculators with dedicated functions which are usually having real-time computing constraints.
These are the ones know as embedded systems. The edition, known as Microsoft Windows Embedded brings all of the features of XP Professional to these systems just with some few differences. Here are some of the features you get in XP Professional but which are absent in embedded. For all editions, the following system specifications will just be sufficient for installation. However, lower editions mean lower requirement.
It should be noted that many of the editions of Windows XP are no longer in stock. However, here is the price comparison for the available editions. Depending on your choice and the task you wish to perform, your Windows XP edition can be upgraded to higher and newer versions.
However, you have to first be sure that your PC can run the Windows version of your choice. To upgrade to Windows 7 for instance, it is advisable to first download the Windows 7 Advisor to ascertain compatibility.
Windows vista iso has indeed come a long way.
