Hi. One suggestion here is to use gshare which is user-level sharing for Gnome. This solution though doesn't require any administrative permissions, as it uses Zeroconf as its backend. Basically waht you do is create links in ~/.gshared_files to the content where you want to share files. For configuring the gshare daemon, their is actually a GUI applet which is completely accessible with Orca. Note that if you want to share these files on Windows, you will need Bonjuer or however you spell it for Windows which is released by Apple. This is due to Windows not nativelly supporting the necissary tools. --Erik
