I am wondering how everybody else connects vertical and horizontal mills
to computer networks. Let me explain. We have a network run by Windows
Small Business Server 2003. On the network is 7 vertical mills, 1
horizontal mill and about 20 computers. Currently, all the users and
machines in the company need to log onto the domain when there shift starts.
But, we just got the horizontal CNC (HAAS) and I have found that it only
connects to computers that are part of workgroups, not domains. Well, our
entire network is on a domain so I had to put an extra computer next to the
CNC that was part of a domain so the CNC could use it as a "server". Then
the domain computers have to connect to it to transfer files. It seems like
a waste, but I can't figure out any other way to do this. Should I put all
of the CNC's on a workgroup? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
