NO.

We are deciding whether or not to get a windows home server. We have on vista pc connected directly to our router through lan, on pc connected wirelessly to our router, and two macs(one leopard and one tiger) connected wirelessly to our router. Should we get a Windows home server for backups and file sharing, or is there a better alternitive.
sorry, ONE vista pc and ONE XP pc

HP MediaSmart Server EX470
This is a great home server which will allow file sharing and back up. This is not however an application server.

The router is a netgear wireless router
I want the computers that connect to the domain to have to go threw the server
DNS and DHCP ( ISP or Set on server ????)

Im using virtual pc for win 2003 server

OK – hook up your netgear wifi router to the 2003 server machine.

Because your 2003 machine is a server, you'll need a static IP for it, so I would connect the router to another network card and have another separate card for the LAN. You can then bridge the two cards on the server and allow them to route traffic. This way your server keeps it's static IP address for the LAN but gets it's dynamic IP from the router for the internet access.

Set the DHCP server on the 2003 machine to give your XP clients an IP address from the non-routable 192.168.x.x range (excluding the router).

Then set the XP machines to route through the ip address of the server rather than the wifi machine. Basically you're using the wifi router as a normal networked router.

I am planning on acquiring a Dell mini 9 with Windows XP Home pre-installed and 1GB of RAM. From time to time I need to run a Windows 2003 server virtual machine to do presentations. Can I do it from the mini 9?

You should be able to… just be aware… both XP and Server 2003 like to utilize RAM and that system can’t have much… things will probably be slow.

A friend and I work on computers as a hobby and it’s a hassle and expensive to keep burning cds with the stuff we need. We want to be able to log into the server download and upload files we need. Is there a set of software I can use to build a file server accessible from remote locations? If possible I would like something web browser friendly and not a hassle to setup and maintain. Windows based server is preferred but not essential.

It sounds like you want FTP software. I'm sure you'll find some on the web.

Also, can it run on Windows Vista?

u can't run with any windows in home edition , XP have to prof
and Vista to be business or ultimate

I want to set it up with no cost at all. I am running on windows xp home edition. Also, I want to be able to access it from computers outside of my network.

For windows xp home edition, there is no IIS. So you will have to find a third party software to set up a ftp server.
You can find those at:

http://www.cerberusftp.com/

http://www.guildftpd.com/

You should be able to find more by searching the internet

For an ftp to be able to be accessed via computer outside your network, make sure you don't have a router or firewall blocking the service port, usually port 21 by default. Check your manual of the device for forwarding the port.

You might be able to find port forwarding instruction for most routers at http://www.portforward.com/

ie PC1 <-> WHS PC <-> PC2 <-> router
^ can each PC connect to each other and the internet in this case?
Are you saying the WHS can act as a router, if so what benefits or features does it offer?
What is your source that WHS allows network bridging? The following thread suggests that there is no such feature in WHS: http://forums.microsoft.com/WindowsHomeServer/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1744498&SiteID=50

Yes. That is the essence of a server. Why not connect the router, or better yet, the modem directly to the whs and let it share your internet connection instead of the router.

Like the OS would be on my internal HD but the backed up data would be on the external HD. ( for the external im thinking a 1TB USB 2.0…. )
Yes why not….

I want to grow herbs for cooking and teas in small containers on an indoor window ledge. I do not know where to begin. Where can I find supplies or a starter kit? Any tips?

Don't laugh but I got the Chia Herb garden at Xmas and the herbs are doing really well. Other then that..just get some good potting mix in little pots.

A recommendation for a low power consumption environment for backup your personal computer’s files in your home.

Question: In the past I never though that we needed a backup of our home computers but now my home computers contain thousands of our pictures, films and business files for my small business and my family. I don’t want to become a PC expert or spend a lot of time setting up and I would like to reduce my electric bill in the process but I need a easy way to manage my information. I am interested your opinion and experience with the new Microsoft HomeServer product. What do you do for backup?

Response: This is a very timely question because We recently changed our back up server environment. We are very dependent on our computers and have backed up the Microsoft Window’s Personal Computers in our home for the past five years through a number of technologies (i.e. writable dvds, tapes, local extenal disks and even on the internet). I have become very disenchanted with each of these methods over time because of our rapid data growth, media failure and the single purpose of many of the backup systems. It was also economically inspired and I decided to replace and consolidate three older and less efficient servers, one tape autoloader and 3 external USB disk drives to a single Windows Home Server. Microsoft Site for Home Server. We opted for build a server from sundry components left over from upgrades and enhancements to our other machines. Windows HomesServer has worked flawlessly and securely for over 6 months and is efficient, comprehensive and fast with it taking about 15 to 20 minutes each night to back up 5 XP and Vista systems with an average of 800 Gb per system of disk space. Hewlett Packard has an elegantly designed, beutifully integrated Home Server complete with Windows Home Server, extensive addons and high availability enhancements for an very reasonable price. The release of Service Pack 1 address many of the stability issues of the earlier version.

Our company would like to implement a network faxing solution so we could fax from our pcs instead of from the fax machine. We currently have a sharp fo-dc535 fax machine which has networking capability and one server running Windows Server 2003. I am wondering if we are going to need to buy another server to handle the faxing or if we can just use our existing server. We fax about 100 docs a day back and forth so the volume is not that high, I just have never put a network fax solution in place. Also, if anyone knows of other things we will need to put in place to implement this I would appreciate that info. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
From checking out the PDF file in the sources area, it looks like it’s a function of the print driver. Possibly a menu selection or different driver needs to be installed for faxing capabilities? As for the server. Depends on what kind of hardware its on as to if it can handle it and what else is installed on it. If there’s nothing else, and it’s a small business, and you’re not faxing 50 – 60 pages / fax, you should be ok running it. If it’s just a DC doing fileshareing, I’d say you should be ok. Take a base line of the server prior to setting up the fax solution and have a few select users start to use the fax capabilities, and monitor it again. If the new monitor readings spike a lot higher than the original base line, you know you’ll need a new server. For light duty faxing, I don’t think it should be a problem unless the driver does some type of document converstion on the server as opposed to the workstation.

I have been trying unsuccessfully to connect my computer to the shared network in order to view and use other people’s files. I can connect to the internet fine, but the shared file network, which everyone else is on fine, doesn’t work. My computer shows up as being on the network infrequently on other people’s computers but I cannot view any of the shared folders.
Generally, this is due to your computer being on a different WORKGROUP. Check to see. just right click on “My Computer” click the “properites” then click “Computer Name” tag. If the workgroup that shows there is the same as the other computers then you are good, if not change the workgroup. Also be sure your computer does not have the exact same NAME as anyother machine on the system. That should get it, You can always just run the network wizard from the Control Panel to set all these settings. Also you need to check your FIREWALL, to see if it is allowing your local network. You can turn it off to check, if your network works, turn the firewall back on and adjust the settings to allow your local network.
