well, i think that you're talking about a domain. you need active directory on the window server. if you want it to be a router you need two nics, dhcp, and dns services on it. you'll also need a domain name, or you can make up your own name as long as it ends in ".local"

for the client, you need to have xp pro, because home can't join domains.

it's not very hard to do. and next time, don't ask the same question 3 times.

xp runs on many different cpu architectures, including celeron. It depends on what you want the server to do. A good configuration is a couple GB or ram, an intel xeon cpu, and multiple sata drives for backup. that is if you want to back up.
