hi, i'm fairly knowledgable with computer skills and own a couple retail stores. I am trying to have them all run off of a centralized server at one of my locations to run point of sale (POS) transactions. The server is running Windows 2003 Server Evaulation which is supposed to be a full version that expires in 180 days. In the location that has the server I have all my workstations able to use the POS Software properly. All my locations have static IP addresses. How do I get the remote locations to be able to access the POS Software on my server. I.E. How can I map a drive from the server at one of my other locations. Also, on the server I have two network cards, one for the internet and another for the LAN. When I tried to set up internet connect sharing on my server it said that I have to first disable routing and remote access. I couldn't figure out how to do this but for some reason the workstations are still able to access the internet even with the ICS being on. Please help

Thanks
Danny

They would all need to be a apart of the same
network/domain I could imagine.

Make the server a Domain Controller by typing "dcpromo" in
Start>Run... and then join the other PCs to the domain.
You should then be able to map drives etc.

How are you connected to the server from the remote sites?

Don't use ICS for sharing the Internet on the server. Install the NAT
protocol under RRAS.
