I'm not sure what I did to create a flaming response. I just noticed other
posts getting rapid responses while I was getting none. I'm familiar with
the way the public newsgroups work and the fact that MVPs are real people
whose paying jobs are not giving newsgroup advice. I am a grateful
beneficiary of the wonderful advice I have gotten in the past on numerous MS
newsgroups ... mostly from MVPs. I did not intend to offend, but apparently
I did. My apologies.

Perhaps my original post did not make it clear. Our new dedicated file
server is running XP Pro, not Windows Server, therefore we do not have the
tech support that you mentioned. It is a simple peer-to-peer like setup
with a little better security desired, which I think XP Pro will deliver
fine. Any help you might be able to give would be much appreciated.
