what type of file are the client PCs accessin/changing? is there a DB of some sort?

basicaly your just looking at FTP setup. a static IP for the server is best, will need to open firewall ports to allow remote access and probably have port forwarding to the server PC.

Specs are not that important - what you listed above is plenty (depending on what you are running on it) for basic data, its probably plenty.

More info needed around exactley what you want the client pcs to do

There will be a database.... files are just like the ones you create in access.. not heavy at all ...

what im interested in is the static IP u mentioned... I need one right?, i cant just set up firewall ports (are this refererd to as gateways?) and a forwarding port??

could this do the work?

SonicWALL 01-SSC-5730 TZ 170 SP 10 Nodes Wired - Retail (as the forwarding port)

SonicWALL 01-SSC-6080 TotalSecure 5 (TZ 150) - Retail

Thank you...

The building you have the server in will clearly need to be on the internet - some ISPs issue a static IP - this will remain your IP untill you change providers, some issue dynamic IPS these change from time to time - if your ISP changes your IP without you knowing then the remote PCs will no longer know what address to conect to.

You can get round this with a domain hosting server - so they conect to a web address not an IP.

depending on your hardware setup your gateway is normaly the router and also a firewall but this is not always the case
