Hi !

I have changed in the System control pannel my connection type (domain
-> workgroup). Now I would like to go back to a domain type. However,
this option is now grayed, and XP tells me that I have to install the
network support.

I don't understand what I have to do. Can somebody help me please ?

Thanks in advance,

Jérôme

Make sure the client for MS network installed and have TCP/IP setup. Or post back with these results of ipconfig /all and net share command.
