OT: Need Advice (small network oriented)

[MoFunk]

Let me start by saying thanks for giving my issue a look see. Here is what I need to do and I have no idea how to go about it. My cousin is starting a small business and wants me to network 3 WinXP pro machines together for file and print sharing. No problem, I have this covered. What he also wants is an inter office e-mail system. Only for the 3 computers. I have no experience in this area so I come to you, the guru's of AT. I have no idea where to begin here. I never knew such a thing existed, but he knew a guy that was doing it but he has since moved on and we have no way to contact him. Thank you in advance for any leads.

What do you mean by inter-office e-mail? It seems kind of pointless for 3 computers. I would just use regular e-mail or IM for that. At Nortel we had internal e-mail addresses, but it was just a different domain on your address, for instance I was mcousins@nortelnetworks.com (external) and mcousins@somethingelse.com.

Pick up 602pro from Here. That should work, and it is made for people with little knoledge.

E-mail for 3 computers is really not needed, but if youw ant it, you can do it with this. It is free for 5 users. If you need more, or want to pay $$, it should be cheap.

<edit>
You want LanSuite. It is a free trial, you can pay if you like it.

Thanks for the replies.

Teriba- I agree, I feel it pointless also, but that's what they want so I am trying to help them out. And with them not going to have internet access it is going to be strickly peer to peer based.

Evadman- Thanks I will give that a try.
