Actually linux would be the way to go for a samba server.  I'd have to update the article. |

| Nice article, clear and concise for a beginner. Although I need to point out one mistake. You mention in the 'Setting up File and Print share' section there is a default overall password for the computer (win2k). This isn't entirely true. Windows NT/2000 and XP use something called user level security, whereas Win9x uses share level security (ie - assign a password). User level security means that you need to authenticate with both a username and password. Win98 definately wouldnt be best as a network server, it's not even a fully 32-bit OS. In fact with Win9x it's possibly to very easily comporamise a password protected share (see http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/...n/MS00-072.mspx ) |

| Very helpful to me. A clear, concise explanation of what a router does, and it's role as a DHCP and the difference in IP's internal to the network, and internet IP's. Makes me hungry for more now! Thanks a lot. |

| Hmm more tricky on an office network. Maybe they push certain policies to the PC to not allow it to see others. Can other people's PCs see yours, or other PCs? It may be a security feature or what not. It's like where I work, they block every outbound port but 80 and 21 and maybe a few others. |

| My PC is connected to the office network. I can browse the Internet, but my PC can not see the other PCs. What's up? |
