We are going to have a NT 4 and 2000 domain sharing the same 3com switches at my office and both using a cisco 2620 for internet access through one LAN interface? Is this possible? Will they need to be on totally different networks? Thanks in advance for your help.

Yes they can share your hardware. They do not have to be on separate networks.

Thanks for your response, xoop. I didn't even want to think about having to separate them.

W2K will ask if you are running pre-W2K domains on your network.

If you are, you can run the W2K domain in a compatibility mode so you can set up domain trusts etc.

I set up my first W2K knowing nothing about the "Active Directory" setup, which replaces the "Domain Controller" option. I was going crazy thinking that I bought the wrong W2K or something. I've been doing LANs since OS/2 1.3, and all of a sudden they changed the name!

Lesson learned, RTFM.
