You can have a:
Fileserver
DHCP server
Web server
DNS server
...etc

I presume you mean a file server? What operating system(s) are you using?

412155 2005-12-12 19:04:00 Do you want to dedicate a computer to the purpose (Windows Server or Linux), or just run Xp Pro/Home on it? - for a home user you dont really need a dedicated server, peer to peer networking is fine. Dannz (1668)
