Office 2000 on Windows peer network

by curlisu . Updated 25 years, 6 months ago

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.
