digitallaughter Posted October 12, 2001 Share Posted October 12, 2001 Just letting you know that windowsxp's HomeNetwork wizard is awesome. I have been trying to share my satellite connection for years and It never worked. Now within less than 3 minuts its working like a charm :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PabUK Veteran Posted October 12, 2001 Veteran Share Posted October 12, 2001 You were lucky! I have had loads of problems with the networking wizard in XP but they got sorted out in the end so I don't dare change the settings now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurchybaby Posted October 12, 2001 Share Posted October 12, 2001 Bah!! Wizards are highly overrated (except the one that I used with MS ISA 2000. That one was actually worth going through. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altezza Veteran Posted October 12, 2001 Veteran Share Posted October 12, 2001 I was having problem sharing ADSL connection, but now it's working great. Once the other client (in my network) have installed Windows XP, it automatically detects the current internet connection through the gateway (through my Windows XP computer) and within seconds the client computer connected directly to the internet. I like that feature! XP the best! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aco Veteran Posted October 12, 2001 Veteran Share Posted October 12, 2001 I had no problems with ICS or networking on XP, but then again I expected to have none, so i'm happy :) digitallaughter, correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't you had heaps of problems with XP? I know I have had many and I'm not sure if the positives outweigh the problems. :ponder: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ISA 2K seems to be a best bet for a secure network... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitallaughter Posted October 12, 2001 Author Share Posted October 12, 2001 Dont use devils own its pure crap. Go to www.directron.com and buy it for 90 dollers. Or at least download a decent ISO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crackhbob Posted October 12, 2001 Share Posted October 12, 2001 Buying it from directron and downloading DevilsOwn are the same thing! The only difference is with one you don't have to worry about activating it and you don't get support.... Support doesn't matter though because I haven't had a single problem with XP and neither has 5 or 6 other machines I've installed it on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubano Posted October 12, 2001 Share Posted October 12, 2001 I dont think people who would download xp would care much about support. I dont think I have ever called a Microsoft Technitian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

configure Veteran Posted October 13, 2001 Veteran Share Posted October 13, 2001 DevilsOwn is an IRC group that make the replaced file of Windows XP Professional so that it'll require no Activation, no timebomb. Correct me if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortensen Posted October 13, 2001 Share Posted October 13, 2001 If you download WinXP off the web you will almost certainly get one of three files: the Dell OEM, the DevilsOwn version or the beta testers Evaluation with a crack. DevilsOwn is the most common version found. As for their release of XP I thought they didn't modify any files [unlike so many people claim... shouting that they hacked it and added viruses... NOT TRUE] but got hold of a corporate version and bypassing activation serial number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joswin Posted October 13, 2001 Share Posted October 13, 2001 Yeah, far as i know it is just the Corp version of XP. They did 2 things :- 1) Riped an ISO of the Corp OS and put that out on the web, the DevilsOwn release even has the same CD lable, not WXPCORP_EN, but WXPVOL_EN the correct title. 2) Found the file's inside this ISO and ziped them up to 'patch' non corp version's. I remember on some other forums people doing CRC checks and stuff on the MS CORP and the DevilsOwn corp, they gave the same ID code thingamy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
