In the previous article we have discussed a variety of articles for beginners, such as email with yahoo and gmail, how to choose the laptop, how to secure the laptop, how menambal hole dipower point, how to select the hard disk, increasing performance and others that I have show in this website. At the time this article I will share how to create a little server at home with the old PC, before I discuss simple tips to create a server at home with the old PC, I'll explain a little what the server ..?

The server is in general a computer system that provides a particular type of service in a computer network. Server is supported with a processor that is scalable and a large RAM, also equipped with a specific operating system, referred to as a network operating system or network operating system. The server also running administrative software that controls access to network resources and that there is in it, as well as files or devices (printer), and provide access to the workstation network members.

Generally, the operating system on the server there are applications that use architecture client / server. Examples of this application is a DHCP Server, Mail Server, HTTP Server, FTP Server, DNS Server, and so forth. Each server operating systems generally membundel services or the service can also be obtained from third parties. Each service will respond to the request from the client. For example, the DHCP client will request to the server that runs a DHCP server when a client needs an IP address, the client will give the command / request to the server, with a language that is understood by a DHCP server, DHCP protocol, namely itself.

Example the operating system of Windows NT server is 3:51, and continued with the Windows NT 4.0. When this system is quite popular is the Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003, and Sun Solaris, Unix, and GNU / Linux. Servers are usually connected to the UTP cable with a client and a Network Card. Network card is usually a PCI or ISA card. Function server is very much, for example, to internet sites, knowledge, or just data storage. However, the most common is to mengkoneksikan client computer to the Internet.

I was a little explanation about the server,. before we proceed, may you have a PC that jadul never be used again karna outdated, however, does not mean that the PC dianggurkan. Than not used, just a PC that nebjadi a server. Though more solid again, the PC is used as a server to a wireless network at home. The equipment you need is a network card, if you do not have a PC network card. Other tools is the access point. If you want to share an internet connection, of course, you must have a modem.
