I'm probably walking into a bee's nest tomm.....I guess. Here's the scenario:
I get along great fixing and repairing computers...Ok!! I've been getting around in most versions of windows for years. BUT actually knowing how to network 10-12 computers in a office, I've never tried.
The problem is my friend knows nothing about computers other than he log's into the office XP computer (with admin rights) and does his work...email, office and etc.
What should I do first when I get there to help him?? He said he can't log-in to do his work and wants me to help him.
1) goto each computer and write down all ip's (ipconfig /all )
2) change all the accounts other than the admin account or chg it also.
I Sure would like some help along these lines!!!
