Unless you want to set up a homegroup, a feature of windows 7, on your network you won't really need a windows 7 computer
The computer is running on the Windows operating system.
I am sharing a Dell Photo AIO Printer 926 running on an XP computer with a computer on the network running Windows 7. When I started, the printer was already installed and working on the XP computer and set up to be shared on the network. Then I ran the 926 printer installation disk (the disk that came with the printer) on the Windows 7 computer. At some point it asked me if the printer was connected to another computer on the network. When I answered "yes" it asked for the name of the other computer on the network and the shared name of the printer. After I answered those questions it proceeded to "install" the printer as if it was connected to the Windows 7 machine and it works perfectly. I was surprised that worked, after having tried many times (unsuccessfully) to connect to it by installing new drivers on the Windows 7 computer. So I would suggest using the printer installation disk on the Windows 7 computer. If you do not have the disk I would suggest trying to get one from the printer manufacturer.
It does not matter, your network design and hardware is independent of the devices (hosts) that connect to it. Also, typically you can set up the network without using a computer, but even if you do require one, any computer will work, not necessarily one on Windows. You can use Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, etc. Any of them will work in a correctly designed computer network.
because it does not have a wied. that way it is called a wireless network.
Windows is the operating system on a Microsoft computer or an Apple computer running windows drivers. Without windows your computer would not work.
To function as a server a computer must be running as a WINDOWS based server i.e windows 2000, windows NT, windows 2k3, windows 2k8 editions of server installed on computer the server could be Linux based as well.
It would be networking your computer with another in your house. That would require you to get a network card.
