Hello,
I have just installed windows server on my pc and would like to
setup a client/server network. Currently,I am using P2P networking.
Right now,I have a wireless router and it acts as a dhcp server. The
computers and an ethernet modem is connected to it. The ’client’
computers are running win2000 and xp professional.
I use a workgroup and automatic ip address/subnet assigning.
So, what are the requirements if I want to setup client/server
networking? I have looked through some windows server books and they
mentioned a lot on domains,using windows server to assign dhcp,
dns,active directory etc.
For the server, I would like it to be setup as a file/printer server
and probably a webserver also. I also want to give active directory a
try. So are there any things to change? like using a domain or
removing the router to setup static ip etc?
