I have a small office (wireless & ethernet) networked peer
to peer for Internet sharing. I would like to set up a
standalone pc as a "server" to act as a DNS, allow users a
common place to store backup files, as well as determine
who has access to shares on all other pcs. All pcs are
running Windows XP-pro. Is this possible without Windows
Server software? Thanks in advance for assistance.
