<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>

readily admit that I know next to nothing about LANs; I usually leave all that
to the network guys and then come in and work my magic :-) But on the home
front there are no network guys, I'm it, and then my ignorance is a
problem!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=089195114-04082003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I
have 4 boxes and a Compaq Proliant dual-CPU server. 2 of the boxes boot
wxp. One box boots w2k. One box boots either wxp or mandrake 9.1 depending
upon my mood. Plus I have a 5-port mini switch</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=089195114-04082003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>Every single box save the server sees different things. I have no
idea how to control what is visible to whom. I've tried creating shares and
adding network places and yada^3 with decidedly mixed
results.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=089195114-04082003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>What
I want to achieve:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=089195114-04082003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=089195114-04082003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>As
admin I can see everything everywhere.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=089195114-04082003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>As
user A on box A, you can see only one dir on B and all the shared stuff on
Server.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=089195114-04082003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>As
user C on box C, you see what A sees only relative to your
box.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=089195114-04082003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>As
user D on any box, you can see some dirs on A and B and
Server.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=089195114-04082003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>Eventually I want the world to see one specific directory in
IIS.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=089195114-04082003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I
want to be able to hit my instance of SQL2K remotely, using a known port + uid
+ pswd. I can hit two clients' databases in this way but the network guys set
it up so I don't know the details. I want to open port #### and forward
incoming to server and let sql security take care of it after that, so I can
hit it from anywhere should I need to -- and all this freedom at the expense
of random probers.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=089195114-04082003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>Ideally, within my LAN I'd like to make the box you log onto
irrelevant, so that anywhere you log on you can see your instance of Outlook,
your MyFavorites, MyDocuments and MyFiles plus selected server locations
(depending upon the rights Admin assigns you).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=089195114-04082003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=089195114-04082003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I
know it can be done because I've worked at several institutions where it has
been done, but I never asked the network guys exactly what steps are required
to create this situation.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=089195114-04082003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=089195114-04082003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>That
sounds like a whole bookful of information, but I'm hoping one of you
brilliant folks will give me a simple step-by-step recipe.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
