[muglo] Re: server question

Hello Mary,

A 'Server' can have many services running on it like SMB, FTP, DNS, and so on. 
In smaller environments the 'Sever' may have all of these services running on 
one computer, but in larger offices the services may be distributed amongst 
several computers. Windows server 2003 does support the AFP protocol and users 
in a mixed enviroment can both connect to the server using the protocols that 
their operating systems support. Even though Macs can talk to a Windows server 
via SMB, it's not the easiest for them.
