Wow... must be rough.  I just got through a period where all I wanted to do was add hardware to my computer.  It ended up pretty cool, but it took entirely too long.

I use Windows XP Pro, and only had a problem with XP working with my older ATI Rage 128 video card. Other than that, it works fine.

All I had to do was let it install all of the hardware, and then confogure it to my likings. Such as the network card, just right click Network Neighborhood ('My Network Places' on XP) and go to properties. All of what you need is in there.

Now... what did you have trouble with when trying to setup a network?

I looked at this thread and thought "Cool! Phoenix is in the geekery!", but then I read it and went like "aaaahahaha... This ain't the Phoenix I know from HN."

Oh, well.

I thought it odd that Cat/Xolik/Reim/etc..hadn't posted at all in the beggining, then I looked at when the last post was before "Lover of the Corpses" posted.
