Hi!

I know this may sound thick - but I have a business with a server and 8 pc's runing windows NT4 - i believe that win2k will allow me to let all pc's access the internet using internet connection sharing?

How do I upgrade to Win2k - is itas easy as buying the disk and loading it on all machines?

Thanks

You could do the same thing now with proxy 2.0 installed on your server (or any other proxying software say .. wingate) and letting your users connect to the server with the proxy client. Proxy I think is still for free as are a lot of other proxy programs out there. Try doing a search for proxy on www.download.com

As for your question windows 2000 is literally that easy with an "in place" upgrade just installing over the top of your existing operating system.

There are recommnedations though for disaster recovery reasons.

A) you could introduce a bdc and synchronise the SAM (security access manager database) to the bdc before you do the upgrade.

This will keep a copy of your user data just in case anything catastrophic happens.

Im already assuming that your going to backup your data.

hope this helps,

jb
