Hey guys,
I am going to be inheriting a new computer from someone, and I decided I am going to turn that into a server. Here's what I'm going to be using it for:
As well as some other things. I have a few questions I'd like to ask, so whomever can answer what, please let me know.
I think that's it... I will probably have a few more questions, but those are the main things I'm worried about, especially the dyndns part and the directory access, hehe.
Thanks!!!
I am going to be inheriting a new computer from someone, and I decided I am going to turn that into a server. Here's what I'm going to be using it for:
- Set it up so that my computer and my sister's computer can each access our own directories so that we can use that for backups.
- Possibly setup a Dual Boot situation between Windows XP Professional and Windows 2000.
- Use it as an FTP server.
- Possibly make this a domain controller.
As well as some other things. I have a few questions I'd like to ask, so whomever can answer what, please let me know.
- How can I setup a Dual Boot situation between Windows 2000, and Windows XP Professional?
- As I stated, I want to set it up so that my sister can access one directory for backing up things. I don't want her to be able to access any other directory. How can I set it up so that she will have access to a set directory, and can't access others? I don't want to have to set her up on a domain for that...
- I use DynDNS. I have DynDNS on my current computer. I want to assign a DynDNS address to the server. How can I set it up so that one address will allow access to one computer, and another address will access the other, even though it's the same IP address??? That's one thing I need to accomplish.
- I want to sort of make this a dummy machine. I want to only have the power cord and an ethernet cord hooked up to it, and then access it using VNC... is that possible? How can I set it up so that the post won't be interrupted due to lack of Mouse and Keyboard?
I think that's it... I will probably have a few more questions, but those are the main things I'm worried about, especially the dyndns part and the directory access, hehe.
Thanks!!!
