What is the ethernet device? And does it work in windows?
I could not ascertain if ethernet worked with windows because the network
neighbourhood
needed a hot fix in order function. I couldn't get the hotfix because
windows was no longer suppoorted at the time I looked.

oK, I'm a bit lost about what you're trying to do.

DHCP works by a machine on the network acting as a server and giving
out IP addresses and configuration information for the other machines.
In small networks this is often integrated wth the router. When I asked
about if this was all with the same server I assumed you were trying to

be of most benefit.

Hi
I have the computer plugged into a converter [it acts like a router] between
the two computers.
I could not go ahead with the BIOS change as the computer did not boot up.
I think the problem might lie with the hard drive or the machine itself.

Samba is right up my alley - just what I need infact. But the trouble I am

When I try to install ubuntu server edition - it does not recognize any

Hi Colin,
I'm afraid i can't offer much help with your server problem, as i also
need more information (maybe read more books, wikis and tutorials) about
servers, but i can, i hope, point the way to find your answers.

Do you need something like a samba system? Samba is used in open source
systems to communicate with Windows systems. Samba can even act as a
server on Windows based networks.
Ubuntu can do this rather well.
