We currently have a 6 user (Win98) clients and an NT4 server. For internet acesss we use Wingate and for email Mdaemon.The server is only used for file sharing and internet access.
We are getting a new server so we will probably change the software to Windows 2003 Small Business server.
Before we go down this route I need some advice.
1. Will Windows 2003 Small Business server allow us to share internet access and email access across a single ISDN connection without any additional software?
2. If not what software would you recommend? I understand that 2003 small business server comes with Exchange so that should handle the email but does it also handle shared web access? We dont paticularly need an internet web server just a way of connecting.
3. For antivirus we where considering Norton corporate edition (or whatever its now called). Does this have a firwall now?
4. Finally is the changeover from NT 4 to 2003 relatively straigh forward.
5. OK I’ll try one more question if you still have the patience. Is there a full set up guide somewhere for the type of network I’m considering?. I ask because it’s such a typical network someone must have written down a full set of instuctions or even have a simple piece of software to do it me.
Thanks in advance.
