Beginner needs help

Hi Geeks,

I need some help with Windows 2000 Server and XP.

I installed Win Server 2000. It was a blind installation as I did not know
the answers to the questions that were asked during the installation. Most
of the time I was clicking 'yes' and if a selection was given I was
selecting items without even knowing what they were.

The purpose:
I want to use the win 2000 server to install SQL Server 2000 and connect
the Win XP Pro to the Server 2000. If possible I want to use the Win 2000
Server to run a website as well.

Question:
Do you know of any good website that gives good instruction on how to
install / get things done on Win Server 2000?

My knowledge level:
I am an electronics guy trying to do a bit of programming. I don't know
networking (but not a complete idiot). I can follow instructions and use a
little bit of my common sense to get things done.

Thank you for your time.

Regards,
Lee

You questions are really too vague to answer. I would suggest you start with
your local book store.

SAMS Teach Yourself Windows 2000 Server in 24 Hours would be a good start.
