I just skimmed the manual on this particular model but i do know that you can directly connect it to a switch. Take note that when you do this, you can't use your server as a firewall anymore. Maybe you can configure the routing to be only between the router and the server so that you can control the traffic but this still defeats the purpose of attaching the router directly to the switch. Read the manual. I believe it has a lot of features such as DHCP, port forwarding, etc. > > [2.] There are 130 workstation connected to the above server (LINUX) > but the current problem is that, the workstation running windows OS > will not be able to browse the server DRIVE (LINUX).

You might want to install SWAT so that you have a web-based GUI for Samba. That could turn out to be an added security risk though. http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/SMB-HOWTO.html <-- you might want to read this howto. -justin -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
