Hi. I am looking for some advice. I am setting up a network with the following: A4000 + Ariadne II A1200 + Mr Ethernet PCMCIA A1200 + Mr Ethernet PCMCIA Win98 PC + ISA Ethernet (NE2000) I am going to use UTP cable with a hub, as this suits the layout of my house best. Basically, I want to do three things. Firstly, I want to have a pop3/smtp mail server running on my Amiga 4000. Seccondly, I share files with the other computers. Finally, I want to play networked games such as Descent and Quake. Now, the first and last problems are easy to solve, I can set them up easily. It's sharing files that will be a problem. I want to have constant access to one of the Amiga 1200s, so Envoy seems like a good idea there. The real problem is the PC. I have SAMBA but it looks quite complicated. I'm sure I could learn about it and configure it, but I'd rather find a better way. I was looking at NFS, but there seems to be a big lack of servers for the Amiga. However, I think I'm right in thinking that if I use the Genesis client I can see drives on the PC, and read/write/delete from them, so this could be an answere. So the question is, is SAMBA worth it for occasional use or would NFS be a better option? Are there any reccomended programs to use with SAMBA or NFS?
