When I buy a server, do I also need a monitor? How do I "see" what I've put on the server?

Initially you need a monitor when installing your server software, after that you can use any workstation (connected to the server of course)  to see or use your server.  You can do so by using "Remote Desktop Connection".  However if you're going to use the server as a workstation (which I don't recommend) you definitely need a monitor to use your server as a workstation.   Otherwise you can operate the server from any remote workstation.

Servers, and probably a few/many of them. You'll have to use something higher than a Cable connection, such as using a T1 or T3 provider. And I'm not sure about how to let people connect through the servers, etc.\n\nBut for the cost, you'll have to look into registering the company name, T1/T3 provider costs, server machine costs (yes, they are different than a regular PC), mainframe PC costs, FCC, and a lot of other good stuff like that. =P\n\nThat's the most information I can give. Maybe someone else can enlighten you some more. =)

i fail to see why you need both OS's on a server, butif you insist. then you'll have to format your drive and install XP 1st so it can boot of the 1st partition

Probably nothing that you don't already have. Just about any computer these days can function as a server. What exactly are you trying to do? Please let me know and I'll provide more specific info.

If you are locating this server at your location then go with the microsoft product. If you are using a hosting service, use the Linux service unless you specifically need microsoft server products like asp. \n\nLinux has a rather steep learning curve and it sounds like you are in a hurry.

You can build a better machine yourself. Buy an issue of Maximum PC and you can see all of the parts used to do this.

Hard to troubleshoot with very little info but sounds like you are not seeing the server this particular PC was added as part of a group e.g. a domain.

Where and from whom did you purchase this computer?\n\nHave you looked at the back of the computer? the sides? often there is a product code sticker.   A tech from your server can probably help you more if you can provide information about your computer.\n\nYou are going to need the product code and the only way to find this is through the purchase.

a Server provides the following:\n1.  a central point for administration policies.\n2.  a central point to manage network resources (printers, scanners, etc.)\n3.  advances file sharing and security options\n\nyou do not need a server in your home.  and who ever put the idea in your head that you do is an idiot.  You need a router to network the computers.  to share the printers and what not simply go to control panel->printers-> add printer.  then follow the on-screen instructions to intall a network printer on the other machines.

depends on what you mean by *server* and what you want it to do.  Very few ordinary people will need a server, however if all you want to do is sharing files between two or more computers, you can add a hard drive to one of your computers and "share" which is possible in both Windows and Linux as relatively simple operations.\n\nOne thing to make sure is that you should never turn off the power to your *server* as it would stop serving.   If that troubles you you can buy out-of-the-box "network disks" or "network storage" which are in fact a small computer with a disk drive attached.\n\nFor more complex server configurations such as email servers, or web servers for web pages you are better of trying to establish what your internet service provider is offering.

That information should be kept on the server and not the local machine.  So it does not matter.  Just reinstall.\n\nHope this helps and GL :-)

make sure you have an updated video card driver, monitors usually will work with just a generic plug and play driver, if it's not like 9 yrs old
