installed as server or client? How would I know?

Click the Start button and look at the side strip. It can be either. You'd
more than likely know if you were running W2K Server though, as it would
have set you back about $800.

A stand alone PC could be both or either. If the OS is WIndows 2000 Server
it could be acting as a server or simply being run as a client. If it is a
2000 Pro box is likely a client, but still has the abilty to perform some
server functions (share files, etc).

The type of PC you install it on is not relevant, and technically the terms
client and server are ambiguous in many cases. What dictates this is the
version you actually installed. For instance, if you installed Windows 2000
Server, then by definition you have Windows Server but it is not really
doing server work without clients to serve. By the same token, you can
install Windows 2000 Professional and share data, which means you are
technically a server, but that would not be exactly the same as if you had
installed Windows 2000 Server edition. Windows 95 can be a server, but that
does not mean it can do the same things that a Windows 2000 Server could do.
Hope this helps
