[dba-Tech] XP net management

It's running Windows 2000 Advanced Server. It has 2 CPUs and a bunch of RAM
and RAID 5 drives. There are substantially faster boxes out there but it is
a server. It's connected to a switch which is also connected to two boxes;
the switch is connected to my LinkSys router which is connected to the cable
modem and two other boxes. 
 
I managed to get a few more visible directories today, but I don't like the
way that I'm going about it. There is sure to be a much smarter way to
configure everything the way I want!
 
I'm so ignorant of this stuff that I don't even know the difference between
a domain and a workgroup. I set up a workgroup. I thought to have a domain
you needed a web address. I only have a slippery IP; most of the time it
stays the same but every once in a while it changes.
 
So what should I change? Step by step, please. I'm a virgin :-)

Sounds like you need to setup a domain.  That server you spoke of, is it
running a Server OS, or have you just 'deemed' it a server?
