What type of server? Windows 2003 ??

If you are talking changing a Windows XP which you were using as a 'peer to
peer networking" server, stop the sharing of the files.
 
I have upgraded to a new computer in my office that I want to use as a server
for my network and use the old server as a client on the network (work
station) All computers on network are XP using a wireless router from my new
computer
 
I have to change one of my client to server, at least temporaly, while we get
a new server.
We have a small network (server + 3clients).
How can I setup the client as server and server as client??
