Setup disk is not needed. Don't you get an option to skip this?

>I changed the workgroup on the laptop and then attempted to run the network setup wizzard on the laptop. The wizzard requested that I make a setup disk to be used on the other computers. My laptop does not have a floppy drive so I could not create the disk. Is this why I am experiencing a problem. What is the set disk all about? How would I use it if I were able to make one. Could you create the setup disk and email it to me?

All of the computers on the network can see the shares on the new dell laptop, but the new dell cannot see the shares on the other computers in the network. Does anyone know of any issues related to windows 2000 server and XP prof.
