Hi Chandman.

First: 1 Server and 20 computers seems absolutely reasonable. Especially with the server specs you posted.

On 1:
If you are in a single collision domain (network using hubs) you might be experiencing the effect of high load on such a kind of network.
If you have seperate collision domains (network using switches), try enabling auto-negotiation for link-speed and -mode (i.e. "MBit/s" and "Duplex-Type").
Also check that everyone is in the same network (IP-network, i.e. everyones addresses are between 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.254).
I do not think that splitting your network and putting a router in between is gonna help you very much.

On 2:
Btw, your modem seems to be a router. Otherwise, it would probably not have an IP address at all. If it also has a DHCP-server, see that only one is running (modem/router or server), two might cause some trouble.
If you want to use your server for DNS and DHCP, disable DHCP in the router and configure the server to look-up any unknown address via router / ISP-DNS. The clients should then be set to use the server for DNS.

On 3:
The domain. Otherwise, the user might have to authenticate with the domain each time he tries to access a certain service. Plus, the advantage of being in a domain is that - if you store profiles on the domain server - users can work on any computer they log in to. They still will get a profile and "My Documents" on the machine they are working with, but - of course - the "Documents"-folder will not "follow them" from one computer to the next. But, then, they probably are gonna be working on one machine most of the time, anyway.



Cheers,
Sebastian
