This is probably easy-

I have a pc with win2k which has 2 NIC's. One for the cable modem, and one to a hub with two other computers hooked in via ethernet.

My questions:

-if the machine with 2 nic's is acting as a server, do I need win2k server or will win2k pro do this?
-can I have the server assign IP's the same way the cable modem did so I don't have to change the settings on the two clients? how?
-is this configuration already a firewall, or do I need firewall software on the server?
-would I be better off hooking up a printer to the server machine or to one of the client machines?
-what are good resources to find out my networking questions?
