Can a domain be set up with just two computers?

With two windows computers running Windows XP (PRO), can I set up a domain to link them?



I know I can just set up a workgroup, but I was just wondering if its possible to use a domain

not a true domain anyways.. you can set polices and such where one workstation could reference settings stored on the other.. which would just be a small workgroup, mimicking a domain



a true domain of course, would require a server operating system, where you could set securities, logins, profiles, all that active directory fun stuff... and even then a server O/S and an XP workstation... would be slightly an overkill.



if you want to just control access on one workstation, or even both.. Microsoft has a free addon for XP called Steady State.. it's quite nice, though it seems to be a resource hog on the HDD recovery methods... but you can ignore that, and use only the security settings... maybe it's closer, and less cost than what you are trying to do with a server.

You can run a domain with one single computer, if you really felt like it.



If you are running server 2000 or server 2003, you can setup active directory and have that server in it's own domain without anything else also in the domain.



Not sure the purpose of doing that but yes it is possible. You could join one workstation to the domain and there you'd have 2 computers (a server and a workstation) on the domain.

  • If you wake up in a room with 2 doors and 2 computers. One goes to death, one goes to paradise.?

    One door gets you out of the room and one door will result in immediate death. One of the computers will always lie to you and one will always tell the truth. You can only ask one of them one question. What question do you ask in order to get out of the room safely and alive. You dont know which computer answers your question.

    If I asked the other computer which door leads to paradise, which door would it point out?



    Then do the opposite. This works because one of the two will always lie, and if you combine the answers of both computers into one question, you know that the lie will always be present.



    Alternatively, you can ask ''If I asked you whether this door [point] leads to life, would you say yes?'' The lying computer will always lie, and since the question has two layers, the two lies cancel each other out and give you the truth. The honest computer always tells the truth anyway.

    ask the first a math problem like 2+2 and then ask the other computer which door to go through it the computer you asked the math problem gets it wrong, then the other one is telling the truth about the doors, or vice versa.
    what door isnt the one to paradise
    If I asked the other computer which road leads to paradise, what is the opposite of what he would say?鈥潀||watz six timez six???
    I will ask for a cigarette??!!!!!! ^_^
    ask both computers if they are telling a lie or not...
    If you are the computer that will lead me out of this room can you speak now?
    Ask it a 2-part question
    you ask the computer the question, and it tells you the oppisite of the truth, so if you ask,



    ''Which is better? Glasses or contacts?''?



    and it tells you, ''Glasses.''



    then you turn it around, and the correct answer is ''contacts''



    yay! If it's the computer telling the truth, then just go to where it says to.
    which door is not the one to get out???



    maybe



    i think im wrong
    ask what the other computer will say.........



    i saw a question like this on here before, only with monkeys and apples..................

    Should I be concerned about logging in to public computers? What about key stroke loggers?

    At my school there are tons of computers everywhere. Of course most probably don't have ADMINISTRATOR access.



    Should I be concerned about logging in to public computers? What about key stroke loggers?antivirus downloads



    When you use a public computer, you always want to type in your passwords and codes. For email you never want the pc to remember your password. So make sure that it is not checked off, ''remember my password''. Always close out your email account.



    If you are going to purchase anything with your credit card on a public computer, make sure that you see the ''VeriSign'', where you give your credit card data. This sign means that the webpage is secure plus server.



    Don't allow cookies, as they will remember your data only. Not your credit card #.



    The key for public of your own private pc is to practice safe surfing.

    Help i am a retard when it comes to computers?

    i need to purchase a wireless router for my home. i dont exactly know how well performance varies from router to router. What the heck do i do? I own a sony vaio desktop vgc-rb43 with cable internet connection. What would you suggest. I would like to have a decent speed. 10mbps wont cut it. Need at least the 54 or whatever typically comes with a router. I guess i am more worried about the compatibility with my computers. My laptop is a hp. can you help?



    Help i am a retard when it comes to computers?antivirus programs



    This is the speediest out right now:



    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...



    You'll also need wireless network cards:



    This card is only 108mbps, you'll need to find a 300mbps to take advantage of the router above.



    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...



    As long as both PC's have Windows XP your set.



    Edit:



    Forget what the others said. You know that doofus works at Best Buy/Circuit City, they get payed to stand around and scratch their ***.



    Linksys, they're piles of crap. The TRENDnets are plug and play, very easy to get working and they don't break down.



    Also, sure your web connection may be only 10mbps, but if you transfer large files (1gb+) from laptop to desktop and vice versa, you want as much speed as possible. I feel my 100mbps wired is too slow, I should've gone with 1000mbps.

    Has any one else had any problems with gateway computers?

    just wondering if anyone else has had a problem with gateway and there computers



    Has any one else had any problems with gateway computers?antivirus protection



    YES!!! it was just a pain in the butt the hole time i had it it was going down all the time



    Has any one else had any problems with gateway computers?computer repair



    Problems can happen on just about any type of pc from any manufacturer. Using a Gateway right now and the only problem with it (laptop) is that occasionally the backlight flickers on and off. But it is old and out of warranty unfortunately. Other than that it works just fine. Gateways are good. Good tech support.
    Gateway went out of production in australia about 10 years ago. They then resurfaced under a different brand name. The biggest problem we had with them at work was the hard drives kept failing. Whats your PC doing that you need help with ?
    No, aside from a bad CD-ROM drive about 10 years ago.
    No, I have had 2 Gateways- including my laptop that I am currently using. I love my Gateway- and their tech support is the best I have ever encountered. Now Dell, on the other hand is terrible. They outsource their tech support and you get some person who can't understand you and you can't understand them. I will never buy a Dell again, but would buy another Gateway tomorrow!

    Are there any organisations/individuals who could donate used computers to needy organisations in Gh

    We are are a labour union in Ghana and one of our problems is the cost of buying computers for the staff that need them. Anyone knows how we could get assistance?



    Are there any organisations/individuals who could donate used computers to needy organisations in Ghana?antivirus scan



    In America they are throwing away 1,000,000 computers a month. You will have to google: recycle computer 3rd world



    Plenty of organizations accepting used computers with email contacts. You will have to make those contacts.



    Let me suggest a free OS for you once you get some hardware: Ubuntu.



    Good luck, man, I like your attitude.

    I Have AT&TGatewayDSL with 4 ports, and 5 computers at work. Do I need to add a 10/100 switch?

    How would you connect these 5 computers to the gateway using Ethernet cable?



    I Have AT%26TGatewayDSL with 4 ports, and 5 computers at work. Do I need to add a 10/100 switch?antivirus software



    OPTION 1



    I have not used this DSL but the fact that it has 4 LAN ports indicates you can connect your PCs directly to it. If so, then, you would need to uplink the DSL to a 10/100 switch or an ethernet Hub (4-port may suffice). Use LAN cable to connect the DSL to the 4-port swich (the DSL manual may indicate crossed or straight cable. if it does not specify then try either).



    The above will give you 6 free LAN ports (3 free ports on the DSL and 3 free ports on the switch) to connect your 5 computers.



    OPTION 2



    If your DSL does not do IP routing (that allows your 5 computers to access Internet) then it would be most ideal that you purchase a SOHO router that has 8 LAN ports on it. If so, then: use UTP cable (as in option 1) to connect the DSL to the 8-port Router. You would have 7 LAN ports free to use with your 5 computers.



    I hope either of the above proves helpful.

    You do need a hub, a switch or maybe a router. I am not sure if the ''AT%26TGatewayDSL'' can assign IP to your computers or not. I will say an 8-port router would probably be a better idea. Once you have the router in place, all you need to do is connect Ethernet cables. They should just work like that with minimum configurations required.
    Well...the best option would be to get ur own router with ur specification and connect it to the AT%26TGatewayDSL. Also make sure that u configure the AT%26TGatewayDSL to the bridge mode.
    You would need a Hub or a Router
