Hello All,
Was just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction in setting up a home office of 5-10 PC's with a server.
Here's what I would like:
All 5-10 PC's to be able to share files and programs like Quickbook (any changes made in quickbook should be seen by all PC's connecting).
All PC's to share same printer
All PC's to access internet.
I've never setup a server before, but I do have some background in computers.
I was thinking of a peer to peer setup, but correct me if I'm wrong, a peer to peer setup can't see "live" updates in Quickbook.
Can this be done with using XP as the server or would I need Server 2003?
I'm assuming setting up a domain would be best?
Is it a fairly easy process to set this up?
TIA
