Re: Client Server Setup

Scott,

The Server should have a domain set up on it. That is normal. Most likely
what is happening is that none of the clients are logging into the server
they are set up on their workgroup and sharing has been allowed for their
workgroup with the server. They could also be using this server for the DHCP
only. Good Luck
