Hi Erik,

>>A file server, is a server that maintains files (sounds obvious doesn't it). The windows Windows NT (W2K) Server famaly, is an application server, but also a file server. A Novell server is an example of a pure fileserver. It does nothing (or almost nothing) more than storing files.

Uhhhh.... well..... I couldn't believe you would not know in the first place. I just feel stupid I did not catch it..
