Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Networking / October 2004Server or Peer-to-Peer
We currently have a Peer-to-Peer LAN with Win98 machines. Would there be any benefit to changing to a Client/Server configuration with Windows Server 2003 ? My boss is interested in increasing the performance of the LAN. Internal security is not an issue. Thanks in advance Bobbie >We currently have a Peer-to-Peer LAN with Win98 machines.

My boss is interested in increasing the performance of the LAN. >Internal security is not an issue. In that case probably not. What is the speed of the LAN? You can maybe speed things up a bit by upgrading some of that kit. eg. 100Mb instead of 10Mb and/or switch instead of hub. Jim. >>We currently have a Peer-to-Peer LAN with Win98 machines.

I agree, go to 100mb if you can and (my opinion) keep the file sharing using NetBeui (its faster than TCP/IP) But no security as can be with TCP/IP... >>>We currently have a Peer-to-Peer LAN with Win98 machines.

We definitely don't have the expertise in-house to setup a Client/Server network. Good to know we can improve performance with hardware upgrades while we work on getting more versed in the Client/Server option. Bobbie > We currently have a Peer-to-Peer LAN with Win98 machines.
