| 253495 | 2004-07-19 21:07:00 | There's a bit of conflicting opinions there about whether to run a server or not, and someone suggested getting some pro asistance. If you're in the Auckland region I can highly recommend www.netcraft.co.nz | Greg S (201) | ||
| 253496 | 2004-07-19 23:11:00 | what I read Lynh is not a computer Tech. There is good advise been posted here but not something Lyn could do themselves. A server is best but for 5 - 6 PC's the cost is most likely to much. Yes one can get a cheap server, but getting it setup will cost Hundreds. Getting a server going is not a 5 min job. I would suggest that if you are not confident in computer networking you should get some qualified help from a couple of networking companies for the best setup. You might find some fine tuning of what ya got does what you need. | Berryb (654) | ||
| 253497 | 2004-07-20 03:42:00 | Remember though that the on-going cost of keeping a 6 PC peer to peer network fully functional can cost quite a lot (somewhat hidden costs that could be put towards installing a server). The basic problem is that security and access to resources are controlled by the individual user with a P to P network - central control cuts down the things that can go wrong. | JohnD (509) | ||
| 253498 | 2004-07-20 05:18:00 | I must admit - a dialup modem per computer is very costly. (btw excellent, now linux has a reason on my computer!) |
