I have 3 computers at my place with two windows xp home and one with xp pro. I want to set up a network so that two computers would be client to the first one. That both computers would require authentication from the server and also share or retreive file.

Can anyone help me how can i achieve this, in step wise please?
thanks

If you want real server-based authentication and centralized maintenance of credentials, you'll need a domain; the server must run a server OS (e.g., Win2003) and the clients must run XP PRO. That will cost you more than you may want to spend for security in a SOHO environment -- the cost of living with M$.
