My os x box only cost $200us....plus I had Linux (Red HAT) doing this for a while...and it was an utter pain in the proverbial rear. The only reason I suggest this method is EASE of setup. Also, the x box isnt the file server. we have a router for that. -Josh -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
