Network connect before login. How?

[ItchyFeet]

Hi All,

I have 3 pcs at home and all 3 run w2K-sp4 on Ethernet. Two of them I can access from my Vista laptop when they are sitting at the Login dialog and **before** logging in.

The other one, (w2000den) I have to log in before I can see it. As far as I know all 3 have w2K set up the same.

My router shows the w2000Den machine as active and an assigned IP.

Any suggestions?

Problem solved. I needed to IPX/SPX Protocol and that solved it.
