Peter, thanks.

This is what I originally thought. Splashing out on NT Server or any other
Windows Server variety is out of the question for me at the moment. also, I
think it may be overkill for my small little network at home.

Does anyone have an idea if I can achieve this with workstation as Peter
suggested?
