hello folks!i ve a questioned that may sound crazy but it s something that just occured tome.pls what kind of network service is being rendered on a server ina cybercafe scenerio.i understand there should be dhcp but what else pls.thnks as u reply.
 
Usually they use deep freeze software too to restore all the computers to a default state each time they get turned on. That way people cant install a bunch of garbage on them. Your best option would be to setup a server then have all your computers linked back to a large input switch. It would be a pretty easy system to setup really.

thanks buddy i iknow the computers will be connected to the switch then to the server.the main issue here is on that server,will service like dns service be instaklled coz what m finkn is its not a domain enviroment so the compters dns request must be forwarded to either the isp dns server in the case of a vsat-router-server model.my main point of intrest is it goin to be a workgroup enviroment or domain n how is name resolution done.thanks as u reply.
 
It'd probably be cheaper to run thin clients and virtualize the whole place, if you don't already have systems purchased. A thin client that works on RDP would work just fine and you can honestly get used ones cheap on eBay. You really don't need to worry too much about the processor speed in the thin clients because all of the processing is done at the server and they're pretty much just rendering video and keyboard/mouse over the network. One multi-core (4+) processor would support several clients, as long as the disk speed is pretty high. A RAID10 setup with SATA 6G drives would probably be a screamer. RAM is cheap enough now that you could load the system up and allocate a ton to each virtual machine. You really wouldn't even need server grade hardware, as long as you stick with quality brands. I'm an Asus fan, but it's not the only brand out there that's worth buying.
