I am curious on how you would create a subserver (if that is a word). We have a network with prob 15 computers total. They are all connected to the server. This is how we access the internet also. Here is where it gets tricky. What do i need to do to create a subnetwork/server between two computers? I want to be able to access stuff on the other computer and vice versa without puting things up on the main server (space issue). The computers are in the same room so there isnt a distance issue. Can you network within a network? Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi uofacarnutt, hi everybody

Maybe I'm looking at this to simple, what about setting up a network drive mapping to the shared folder or drive on the other computer and vice versa? :-)
Right-click on the My Network Places, select Map Network Drive...
Type in the folder field:
\\computer name of the "remote" computer\share name on the "remote" computer

If prompted for a account and/or password, either use the Domain administrator account and password or use a Local (from the computer you are connecting to) account and password.

Best Regards and Wishes,
