Hi
I am using windows xp on my two machines. Is the Network operating system distributed on the two machnes. or are there two individual copies of it, on the two machines.

well you can install the same software on multiple computers. if you used the same serial number/ activation code/ product key that means you are running 2 instances of the same license....probably not legal, but probably not a problem either even with winXP product activation.

What exactly do you mean when you say Network Operating System? Are you talking about a server beyond the XP machines that keeps track of concurrent users? Or are you just referring to the XP operating system (which is just an OS btw...)

in networking 101 class they taught the differences between a networking operating system and a server operating system....i think thats where he's coming from... so there isn't anything wrong with his comment....unless my book is really outdated

Ok, I see, IMO a NOS is an OS capable of handling a domain. XP isn't capable of controlling it...thats why I asked for clarfication. XP is a simple OS
