Windows 2000 Server: Domain or Workgroup, pros and cons?
I saw your very reasoned and well thought out advice on a recent reply about dedicated vs nondedicated file servers in an office environment. I wonder if I can try your patience and ask your advice about my situation.
Background: I'm a professional who telecommutes from home at times and am also married to a surgeon who also has robust IT needs.

Both have things that I like, but there are some things that are a real pain.

Security is not my primary concern
The ability to log on to any machine is important
The ability to share files and the network printer is important
Shared internet connection is important(currently using the server included in the router to dish IPs to the network with the corresponding DHCP service turned off in Windows...
