wireless networks
Some home devices can cause interference between your computer and networks that might be in range. For example, microwave ovens and some cordless phones use the 2.4 gigahertz (GHz) frequency, which is also used by 802.11b and 802.11g network hardware. Other cordless phones use the 5 GHz frequency, which is used by 802.11a network hardware.
There are two things you can try in this situation:
-
If any devices like these are near your computer, turn them off temporarily or move them farther away.
-
Change the router or access point settings to use a different wireless channel, or set the channel to be selected automatically if it is set to a fixed channel number. Sometimes, one wireless channel is clearer than others. In the United States and Canada, you can use channels 1, 6, and 11. Check the information that came with your access point or router for instructions about setting the wireless signal channel.
In the client/server programming model, a server is a program that awaits and fulfills requests from client programs in the same or other computers. A given application in a computer may function as a client with requests for services from other programs and also as a server of requests from other programs.
DEAR FRIENDS THIS SITE WILL TELL YOU EVERY SETTINGS & DETAILS WHICH ARE NEEDED TO SET A SERVER HEAR YOU WILL ALSO GET INFORMATION ABOUT THE DIFFERENT TYPE OF SERVER LIKE FILE SERVER, PRINT SERVER, MAIL SERVER, DHCP SERVER, TERMINAL SERVER, PROXY SERVER, WINS SERVER NETBIOS SERVER AND DIFFERENT SOFTWARE'S WHICH ARE NEEDED FOR SERVER SETTING & SHARING MANY MORE...
SO ITS A MAIN PLACE THAT'S SERVER PLACE...
he operating system is configured correctly. In the Windows Server 2003 family, file services depend on the appropriate configuration of the operating system and its services. If you have a new installation of a Windows Server 2003 operating system, you can use the default service settings. No further action is necessary. If you upgraded to a Windows Server 2003 operating system or you want to confirm that your services are configured correctly for best performance and security, verify your service settings by comparing them to the table in Default settings for services.
The computer is joined to an Active Directory domain as a member server. If you want to authenticate clients or publish a shared folder to Active Directory, the file server must be joined to a domain. If you do not need to perform either of these tasks, the file server does not need to be joined to a domain.
All available disk space is allocated. You can use Disk Management or DiskPart.exe to create a new partition out of unallocated space. For more information see, To create a partition or logical drive.
All existing disk volumes use the NTFS file system. FAT32 volumes are not secure, and they do not support file and folder compression, disk quotas, file encryption, or individual file permissions.
The following table lists the information that you need to know before you add a file server role.
Before adding a file server role Comments
Determine whether you want to configure disk quotas. Use disk quotas to track and control disk space usage for NTFS volumes on a per-volume basis. Quotas prevent users from exceeding the designated disk space by logging an event when a user exceeds a specified disk space limit.
Determine whether you want to use Indexing Service. Indexing Service creates indexes of the contents and properties of documents located on your local hard drive or on shared network drives. These indexes enable users to perform faster, easier searches. Indexing Service can slow down the server, so use it only if users frequently search the contents of files on this server.
Identify the folders that you want to share on the computer, and specify a folder name and description. Users view the shared resources on this file server based on file name. It is recommended that you create share names that are easy to remember and indicative of the folder contents. For example, suppose users are provided with 2 gigabytes (GB) each for storing their private information on the file server. You might name the top-level folder on your file server Personal Folders, and then name each of the subfolders according to the user's domain name.
Determine what type of permissions you want to set on the folders. Assign the most restrictive permissions that still allow users to perform required tasks. Access control on the NTFS file system provides more security than share permissions alone.
