| First, some network basics, then...my thoughts. There are two types of networks - peer to peer and client/server. Peer to Peer is where you have several computers (let's say, four computers running WinXP Pro) all connected to a router. Each computer has a specific name and login. The authentication for each computer is stored on that specific computer. That is...you can only log on to computer A at computer A. If you try to log on to computer A when you're at computer B, it won't work. Client/Server is where you have (at least one) server (sometimes referred to as a domain controller) that contains all the logins and p@sswords. Let's say your login is carharttboy. You can log in as carharttboy from any of the computers that connects to the server. I know of several people that run a true client/server network in their home. Most of these people are network administrators and use the network to test new software and scenario's. A couple, because each person in the household (mom, dad, several children) a computer, it's easier to control the children's access to certain web sites and stuff (i.e. the children have only user rights and cannot install any software). Now...my thoughts. [i][b]DISCLAIMER/WARNING: I'M GOING TO BE BLUNT[/b][/i] Setting up a client/server network is way too advanced for you at this point. Given all the issues and problems you've had, you need some book knowledge/education first. I would strongly recommend taking several computer courses (A+, maybe either Network+ or Server+ - all CompTIA courses) before even thinking about setting up a client/server network. Consider what you're trying to acomplish. Is it just to simply provide severa computers access to the internet (through a rounter) and to share a printer? If so, a peer to peer is the simplest and best way to go. ---------------------------------------------- Work is for people who don't know how to surf Gateway Performance 1800 - P4 1.8gz, 512mb RAM, ATi Radeon 8500; SB Live Value; Windows XP Professional, Photoshop CS, Nikon D2Hs and D100 |

| Which one? Are they reputable? BTW, there's no reason to include a response under "quote". It just wastes space. It's easy to read what was posted. ---------------------------------------------- Work is for people who don't know how to surf Gateway Performance 1800 - P4 1.8gz, 512mb RAM, ATi Radeon 8500; SB Live Value; Windows XP Professional, Photoshop CS, Nikon D2Hs and D100 |
