Network server?

[tyler811]

I am just wondering I have 6 pcs, that are all peer to peer. There all in the network and I can access any one from the other. I was wondering what the advantage is to a network server as opposed to just peer to peer like I have.


EDIT sorry about I hit the post button before I had my queston written

Advantages:

Security (permissions, logging, accounting)
Performance
Flexibility
Wide range of network services available
Better allocation or resources
management/administration tends to be easier/more powerful

Security you can have without a network server
Performance isnt an issue with 6 pcs unless they are 386's
