PCs networked in a peer-to-peer fashion are adequate when you have only two or three users on the network. After that you really need to consider investing in a network server. Here's why.
Do you really need a network server?
Peer-to-peer networks do not provide you with much in the way of security and resource sharing can be somewhat problematic. So, not surprisingly, they often have problems accessing workstations, lost data due to viruses or spyware and could experience intermittent Internet problems. The breaking point is typically more then 5 or 6 users on your network and as such investing in a network server.
Nevertheless, convincing a business owner to make this type of investment can be hard sell. Unlike large corporations, smaller businesses do not have the benefit of an IT department and/or the necessary capital to maintain a complex IT infrastructure. However, network servers do not have to be overly expensive or complex for a business to benefit from them. While implementing a network is not a trivial or an inexpensive undertaking, the benefits you gain by adding a server to your computing environment far outweigh any shortcomings.
