Multiple Workstations, One Computer

[Guest]

I cannot locate XP "networking" info. on how to set up ONE computer that can handle multiple workstations. In other words, I would like to use a computer using XP in one room and allow family members in another room to access the same computer for e-mail, printing, accessing/saving files on same hard drive, etc. using a "workstation" set-up - second monitor/keyboard cabled to the computer). I am not entirely clear what equipment is required (cables, graphic cards, etc.) and the appropriate steps to set it up in XP. Thanks.
