Making XP machine a LAN domain server

nandanv

How to make a XP machine a LAN domain server? I am trying to set up a LAN here with domain names but requires me to install Windows 2000 Sever which I want to avoid if the purpose can be achieved with Win XP/XP Professinal.

Is there anyway to configure NAV Corp 7. 6 or 8. 1 to scan incoming and outgoing emails within Mozilla Thunderbird? I know I have been able to do this with AVG 7 pro.
