Computer as a file server
Is it possiable to make my computer a file server, so all applications on my computer can be accessed on computer 2? I tryed sharing hard drives, but that didn't reali what i wanted! I want users to be able to login onto computer 2 with same username and password and have same programs etc. and any work they did on other computer 1 can be accessed on computer 2. Is this possiable? Or something similar will do!

Re: Computer as a file server
A file server, yes. An application server, not really. You'd need a whole different set of applications for this to work.

Re: Computer as a file server
You need client/server applications and a real server O/S like Windows Server 2003 for instance.
