Newbe question

Set up server 2003 r2, and just wanted file services, and in a peer to peer
network.
hooked up the net adapter to the router, ( i have 1 router, varies switchs,
and 1 wireless ap) 10 other xp and vista machines can see each other fine,
and share files, etc,
But i cannot get them to see the server, or the server to see the other
computers,

can anyone help thanks

How are you assigning IP addresses
Is the router giving them out?

Hello Dennis,

Connect the server to the same switch as the workstations, if you connect
it to the router i assume there will be no physical connection to the clients.
