Please, can someone help me? I have a Windows 2000 server with about 50 XP/Pro clients. Everything has been running smoothly for about 8 months, but we recently got hooked up to ISDN (the only thing available in our area). In configuring the internet, I turned off DHCP on the server and...

I have recently converted a peer-to-peer network to client/server with a Win2000 server and the workstations joined on the domain. Should I turn off file and print sharing on the workstations? Is there a benefit to doing this? (ie: does it make a difference in network traffic?) Thanks, dei
