Networking through A dedicated server
Hello
I've always wondered if i can buy a dedictaed server with bunch of ips and use it at my office, lets say
- I have 10 PC's with Windows XP Pro installed
- I have a server machine [+Ethernet] "i'm using it now indeed but one ip and we all share it, not to mention how slow we surf the internet. pathetic i know, thats why i wanted to buy a dedicated server with a bunch of ips and use it in my office and supply each employee with his own ip.
what i really wanted to know, is it doable? or not.
what programs i need to have, cards etc
I am ready to learn i'll start from anywhere, just provide me a simple walthrough or a guide doc.
NOTE: I used to know someone who have done the same thing in a cafe business.
Best Regards
ralph

hello again
let me just explain one thing here. I will buy a server [leave my internet connection out of this], lets say from fdcservers dot net i will not depend on my isp to provide me with ips because its more than expensive i can say. I can buy the server with WINDOWS/Linux installed what i need is, because i really almost know nothing about networking. back to what i need is, the machine server connect to the dedicated server we bought and the other machines can connect to the server and get the ips. I am not talking about speed here, its a matter of individuality. what kind of programs may do such thing? like connecting to the server get the infrormation and be the server. When i think about this i swear i always say NO we can't do it. impossible.
What really got me to ask this is that i remember a friend who have the same [bought a foreign server from the internet and used it in his internet cafe to supply customers each with deffirent ip]
Thanks

It all depends on your connection to the internet. You could 16,000 IP addresses and split that over 1 dialup connection. Or over a T3. A T3 (DS3) would be about 720 times faster than a dialup modem and depending on your location, cost $6,000-$20,000 a month, I believe.
