I am looking for opinions on the benefits and costs of a server vs peer to peer.

We currently have a peer to peer network with 4 computers: 3 machines running XP Home, 1 box I built running Win2K, and 3 printers.  I will eventually add a scanner. 2 computers have printers attached directly.

I had some help setting up the network, but maintain it myself.

How much ongoing maintenance is involved in a small server-based network?

Thanks for any input.

Jeff
