Re: Client Server Setup

Heya Kemco,

Thanks for your help. This confirms what a friend told me to check
yesterday. I have done that on a client computer and it confirms its a
workgroup. IE Peer to peer.

The reason for all of this is that Iam working out of my partners office.
They have this setup done by their engineer, the problem I have its a
spanish speaking country and my language skills and knowledge of networks
dont go very far. He has replied to an email from my partner that its ok
the way it is. That it should be up to the professionalism of the users to
not mess with things. Well, I have to disagree when he gives them all
access to the intenet. With no firewall, or protection. Of course there is
no policy in the office other than ppl should only use it for work. Well
already there have been ppl chatting on msn messenger. At the moment there
would be 7 computers and 2 laptops, and a server if it was taken away from
the user now. He has also stated that he works in a company of 237 users in
the building and 185 remote users. I cannot believe he has a set up peer to
peer for such an organisation. And also states that he doenst have problems
with those users at his company. Probably because its all locked down.

>From the systems I have worked with before its been client server setup.
That way the users were given certain rights to particular data and
priveledges. Am I getting in over my head or do I have reason?

Cheers,
Scott V
