Hi Aiden, whoa ... isn't that a broad based question. I will try to help as much as possible with the understanding that it can literally take years of study to be proficient in network architecture and operation. The first questions you will need to ask yourself are what role(s) will the server perform, some examples: Domain controller DHCP server DNS Server WINS server File server Web server Streaming audio server Terminal server Virtual machine server Exchange server RIS Server SQL server RAS server Etc... The next question is how large of an organization will it support and in what capacity (domain or workgroup). Will all clients be on a LAN or will there be remote clients over a WAN using a RAS or VPN connection? If you give me some more detailed specifics about your environment and how you will use your server I can give you some further help on gettings things working. Frank Ventura, MCP

How do you go about accessing the main machine to use it as an actual server, and what tips could you give to someone who wants to run one?
