Welcome John to what looks to be your new roll. a future possible topic.. setting up a network from scratch.
I started a thread the other week in regards to wanting a wireless router. I was asked If I had trouble with my current wired network, seeing the meeting topic I thought I'd post part of my reply..... Maybe this could be a clug topic? that could be distributed later as a Plain-English pdf file or open office presentation.. for-example. What one needs software hardware on their server box (do I even need a server) with 2 boxes a networked printer/file sharing and Internet connection. with step by step instructions, that later can be explained what each Instruction is/was doing. With the Linux-Flavour chosen by the presenter(s). Maybe another topic of keeping your network humming. I don't have these skills, I want these skills so I can help my self and others when the need arises.
