Network setting in my house
I'll introduce my home network setting today.I mainly use win Me, and win 2003 server for data storage and back-up.My win 2003 server is on Express 5800 NEC, while Me is on laptop machine.I use this Me-laptop on the desk.(note, which does't mean that I use laptop PC on the desktop machine!)My win 2003 has no console monitor, so, as you may know, I installed Remote Desk Top client software on win Me, and console win 2003 on it.In addition, I want to place the server machine in other room, since it is making a big noise.There is some reasons why I use this setting.First, my win Me sometimes gets out of order, hang up, so I feel anxious about when it will crash and all the data on it will vanish! That's why I prepared win server.Second, my win Me has run short of its memory. therefore, It will soon hang up, especially, When I use Word, IE and Excel at the same time.Whenever it happens, I get very irritated!!So, in order to avoid this trouble, I switch two machines according to my work, for instance, I use the win Me machine browsing World Wide Web, while I type documents and fill the excel forms on server 2003 machine. Of course, lack of adequate memory often causes the printer job to hang up.So, I decided to command and execute the printer job on server. This is not uncommon. But in my home setting, the printer is locally connected to win Me, because putting the printer within my reach is convenient.(remember the server is in other room), of course I know a printer server unit will solve this problem diffrently, but I cannot afford it.When I need to print out some documets, I use server,not Me, though I console the server on Me. OH! I'm confused! I can hardly tell which is which!? You see?In short, the printer job excuted on server is sent to Me. Me operates as printer server, where the printer data is past to printer.
