Best Answer

Yes; it needs a network card for each network connected - in the simplest case, one for the internal network, and one to connect to the internet. It also needs some proxy software.

How do you pull up server desktop from workstation?

To do this you need to be running some type of remote desktop protocol (RDP) in Windows, or the equivalent in Unix/Linux. You can enable this in a server and use the client to connect to the server which will show the server's desktop on the workstation. Terminal services can also be used for this purpose. There are also several third-party packages which will accomplish this as well. When you log into the server using RDP or its equivalent you will see the desktop of the server.
