<DIV><SPAN class=042404822-04082003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>It's
running Windows 2000 Advanced Server. It has 2 CPUs and a bunch of RAM and RAID
5 drives. There are substantially faster boxes out there but it is a server.
It's connected to a switch which is also connected to two boxes; the switch is
connected to my LinkSys router which is connected to the cable modem and two
other boxes. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

managed to get a few more visible directories today, but I don't like the way
that I'm going about it. There is sure to be a much smarter way to configure
everything the way I want!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

ignorant of this stuff that I don't even know the difference between a domain
and a workgroup. I set up a workgroup. I thought to have a domain you needed a
web address. I only have a slippery IP; most of the time it stays the same but
every once in a while it changes.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sounds like you need to setup a domain.
That server you spoke of, is it running a Server OS, or have you just 'deemed'
it a server?</FONT></DIV>
