The correct answer is about $1000.

But seriously, with the pro version, you can only have peer-peer networking. With the server, you can have a client-server relationship where things are controlled more by the server rather than by the individual machine. The server gives you the ability to run as a domain server, file server, web server, etc. The server version is more powerful but a good bit harder to setup and manage.

If you just want to run a home network, go for 2000 Pro. Win2k Server is made mostly for buisness networks.
