I am planning on creating a home server to host private files and videos throughout my house and I was wondering if it would be possible to use the server to host the wifi connection in general as well. I have an internet modem that I can connect via ethernet to the back of the server, and I would like to use the server’s wireless card to transmit my home network and internet connection.
I had an general idea of bridging the connections because I know that it works in reverse: a laptop receiving internet wirelessly can bridge its wireless card with its ethernet port and then a wired device can have internet access through that port. I’m assuming doing the same can work in reverse, yet I do not know if it is possible to host a wireless network through the server’s wireless card.

Like the OS would be on my internal HD but the backed up data would be on the external HD.
( for the external im thinking a 1TB USB 2.0…. )

I have an old desktop lying around. I thought it would be cool to transform it to a server for my home. What should I do within XP for it to be a server? I mean what are the settings I have to do for it to become a server so that every computer in my home will connect to it.

I am thinking of installing Windows Home Server (WHS).
Does WHS support Hot-Swapping?
Assuming I have a drive cage/chassis and there is an emergency, could I just pull the drive out without losing any data?

I’m wondering if WinXP home which cannot connect to a server (only simple shares) can connect and take advantage of WHS and if it can how is this done?
