I would run Windows 2000 server. It would allow you to run an easy setup with what you have now plus grow in the future. It also will offer several types of backups. Just make sure that you run the latest service pack. What kind of connection are you running?(T1, DSL, Cable, etc.) That would determine what kind of protection you need being that the proxy would be gone.

I need your advice for a secure OS in my NT-environment. Currently we are running 8 machines (NT, SP6) that are connected to an Novell Dataserver, which also serves as a proxy. Now since our network capabilities have to grow, I decided to set up a different OS on the server. Therefore I need your suggestions which OS (Windoze preferred) are suitable for my configuration. This OS must also be able to perform backups on daily basis Any recommendations are welcome! Thanks! Kindly regards, - matt
