Conclusion: There is no way for
an individual user, even one with decades of computer
experience, to set up a Linux LAN.
I cannot in any way, shape or for, agree with that. My first Linux
domain controller was working on production after a couple of weeks of
study, starting from about zero knowledge of Samba.
Reading your post, it seems to me that your problem lies with some
misconfiguration on that router you are using between the Linux machine
and the Windows machines.
