I have been following this thread and I offer the following..... fwiw!
1) upgrade (??) wife's laptop to w95, you only have about 5 more usable
months on it anyway.
2) apply y2k patches from mickysoft to both laptops.
3) setup hardware profiles on both machines, on the "WORK" profile use
your existing ip's and routes. on your "HOME" profile use the 10.x.x.x
ip's, routes and such.
4) man samba
