windows server

Hi,

I have a question, probably a stupid one but ... :p

first things first. My friends and I play alot of games over hamachi, but we've encounterd some problems with it. now, my question is:

Is it possible to install windows server on our pc's, and play games over lan and share files with each other?

Thanks

Why do your need windows server to do this? What do you think windows server will offer you that any consumer level OS wont?

Ok so the best idea is to keep windows 7 installed, play lan through hamachi right?

Does anyone now a good solution to share files with friends? Like movies, music, etc. So they don't have to come with their external HDD to get some files. I thought it would be good to do this with windows server because then you have a "shared" hdd. Is there anything like that but on normal windows 7?

Yes you can create a Homegroup on Windows 7 which everyone can send and receive files to, i do it for my PS3 and works brilliantly.
