Can somebody tell me, in step by step, how do I set up a domain type network? How do I create the domain controller first, before linking up into the other terminals to the network.

Depends on the operating system. Assuming you are installing Windows 2003...after you install the operating system, Manage your server option pops up. Or you can go to Start, Programs, Administrative Tools, Manage your Server. Here you can set up the system as a domain controller. Pretty much walks you through the process. Once that is done, you need to make sure that the File and Printer sharing option is turned on in the Network connections, Local Area connection. On each client system you use the domain option and give the domain name to connect.

first you need a server and set it up as a domain controller. There is a wizzard for this.
On the computers (must be running XP Pro or windows 2000) you right click on My Computer and go to properties.
On the computer name tab there is a spot to add to a domain.
