Microsoft Shared Fax on SBS 2003 and Windows XP

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.print_fax (More info?)

Seems like a good question for an SBS group.
How is Windows XP Fax in play here?

Thought it must be XP as the shared device is visible for XP machine and can
be installed however once installed the XP machine says one or more fax
printer is inaccessible.

However the server is running fine. I will also add this to the SBS 2003
board to see if I get any joy!

Thanks in advance
Brian

Windows XP Fax can serve as a client for SBS shared Fax. If that's what you
used, there are a number of standard update and repair procedures disabled
the Fax Monitor in the initial release of Windows XP. These problems were
fixed in Service Pack 1. Make sure you apply SP1 if you notice this problem.
The following may also apply:
