How to setup a server

Question

Hi all. I have sevral computers running XP 2 runing XP PRO and 2 With HOME. On XP Pro i can use a domain but how do i make a XP PRO pc act as a server. I don't like the Peer To Per network as That i what i'm already using. How do i get the Pc to say Press Ctrl, Alt and Delete to bigen and to get it to say log on to. I just want to use the pc as a server. Not a Peer To Peer network.   Help me out if you can.   Thanks for your time and effort, Nick

If all you want to do is share files, you do not need server software.  Unless you are going to run an actual Domain, the P2P is fine.  Besides, the XP Home machines will not be able to join the domain.   Your question is a little vague.

Networking, Internet, & Bluetooth
