At my school, to graduate, everyone has to complete a 'Senior Project'. I found and used an older computer (Pentium 4, 3.4GHz) to create a Web Server and an FTP server. Currently I have Apache up and running, as well as a FileZilla Server.

Now, the problem is, I have to have 40 hours of work towards this thing. As of yet, I only have 10 and I've run out of ideas on what to do. Any help would be appreciated!

P.S. Just keep in mind that my ISP doesn't allow incoming connections on Port 80 so everything that I do basically needs to be an Intranet on a local network.

Thanks!!
 
Oh! Sorry, XP Professional.

I debated over that and Server 2003. I figured that for what I was planning on doing, Server software was overkill for what I needed. I'm sort of beginning to regret that now. Is that going to pose a problem?
 
The purpose of this project is to gain knowledge in something. I know very little about server computing, so that was why I chose this project. I've always wanted to know more, but I'm never had the time nor the reason to do so. This gave me the perfect opportunity.

Now, I've created a Web Server and an FTP server. Both of which only took 10 hours. I need something more than I can create on this server to fill up the remaining 30 hours. Since I know nothing about servers, that why I'm asking for help. I'm not really sure where to start.

I was thinking maybe a mail server? I don't know if this is even plausible on an Intranet. I just need a little something to get me going.
 
Well servers run services generally, depends on what you want to accomplish...

Directory services, file sharing, web and internet, group/user policies, ACLs, POSIX, storage and back ups, so on and so forth.

Your question is very broad, it depends on what you want to accomplish really.
 
Yeah, I would have loaded server 2003 on it and messed around with Active Directory. Its very powerful and used everywhere.
