Oooo, yes please. I would like. :-) I have installed the mdk samba server, client and common files on the gateway, and samba client on my workstation. I tried setting the ip #s up in Samba conf using webadmin. (But that didn't do anything.) But that's about as far I got. I'm afraid I hadn't paid much attention to the whole subject of samba before, thinking I would never need it. So I am a lost and confused newbie.
