Software that implementing the sharing issue? Any special PC needs?

Hi, PC requirements are well documented on the web. Basically for Office2007
applications you need WindowsXP or Vista. Specifically Project Pro 2007 will
be needed to connect to Project Server 2007, and Project Server needs Windows
Server 2003, plus WSS, plus a version of SQL (2005 unless you are doing a
very basic install and can accept the reduced functionality offered by SQL
Express).

I would start here. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/project/default.aspx

Note installing the product is the easy bit, configuring it to suit your
business is the hard bit.

:) I know. But. they told me that Microsoft sels the server and it
sounds now right to me...
We already have a server (that cause a lot of trouble in MSP 2002. I
have tasks that vanish (I can see the duration, start, finish...
everything but the task name) and also the notes vanished....it doesnt
happen when I use MSP on my coputer and not using the server...
