I have a LAN with 1 server, two client computers, and 2 laptops. All
machines are running WinXPHome except for the server which is running XP Pro.
My mother's computer is directly connected to a hi-speed cable modem,
running thru a Linksys wireless router. The server (Dell) and other desktop
machines R in my room. The server is connected via cat5 ethernet cable to
the back of the router. My desktop is connected wirelessly, as R the two
laptops.
How do I use the server (running WinXP Pro) to control the LAN even though
the cable and router R connected to my mothers room. My instructor told the
server doesn't have to be directly connected to the modem to act as a server
for the network. Also, should I set up this network as a "Workgroup", or as
a "Domain". I've installed WinSer03 for class & have experience with
installing & configuring DHCP, but WinSer03 is a 90 day trial version and
will expire shortly. I also have Red Hat Linux that I could install on the
server as well. Can I use XP Pro to dreate a DNS server on my server
computer and, if so, how would I go about doing it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
