WINDOWS XP PCs running on Windows NT 4.0 server
This is a discussion about WINDOWS XP PCs running on Windows NT 4.0 server in the Everything New Technology category; I am about to order 3 new PCs with XP Pro loaded. Should I expect any problems when connecting to my office network which has a Windows NT 4. 0 server ?.

IIRC, there may be a bug with read/write speed to NT4 Server's. I migght be thinking of something else tho. Other than that everything's fine!
make sure and turn off the dns client service in the xp boxes.

Don't you, uh, kinda need that for the Internet?

Actaully it will depend on if the domain is running static IPs or dynamic, correct?
That's DHCP client, not DNS client. DNS is for name resolution, and yes you're gonna need it.
It look like I am going to have to start drinking more coffee, earlier, so I can fully pay attention to what I am reading...
there is a problem with nt server and xp clients where the xp dns client get stuck in a loop even to the point of stalling the computer a little.
so i killed the dns client on the xp boxes and the whole network is working better because the xp boxes arent flooding the dns servers.
xp clients do not need the dns client service active. set it to manual

I was going by the definition of DNS client here:

But if it works for you without it, then cool. I wouldn't disable it (nor many of the services) myself though. Just never had the need.

Have you actually disabled them completely? It could be that it is still running and not reporting it properly. Setting it to manual still allows the service to be launched.
good point
i just disabled and rebooted
still seems ok
ill disable at home and see if there is a difference there.
