In my nine years here, our company network has grown from seven people, zero PCs to thirteen people, six PCs. By default, I’m the IT support, the network administrator, etc., because I have the most hands-on experience.
When we bought PC#3, we linked them with a coax cable Win95 peer network. After #5, we upgraded to cat5 cable and put in a small hub. Some of us use Win98, and we are still a peer-to-peer network.
We are using Office 97 and Office 2000, but without a central server, there aremany Outlook functions (sharing a Contact list, scheduling meetings, etc.) we are unable to use or don’t know how.
I’m wondering if we can designate one of the peers as a server and gain the use of these Outlook functions. I would like to hear someone else’s thoughts on this.
Thank you.
