A problem

Hi

I havebeen asked to help with the installation of a 2003 standard server at
a Convent.

The internet conection resides in a WIN XP pro which has shared internet set
up.

The server previously was an NT 4.00 as a file server.

Will the 2003 tolerate being only a file server and accept an IP address
from the XP pro.

This will result in a workgroup including a server, rather than a 2003
domain.

Will the @003 accept this.

An alternative suggests itself to make the 2003 as a two NIC system treating
the XP exactly as I would an ADSL router.

What should I do?

Hi Don,

Let a server do all the serving, including DHCP, DNS and WINS. And let it
access the internet and thus protect your workstations with the 2 nic setup
in the server.
Go to www.smallbizserver.net and check it out.

Hi Marina

Exactly my thoughts also, I have even worked out the cabling changes
