Hi Merlin - did you manage to sort this out yet?<br><br>I'm sending this to the whole group to say that I'd still be happy to come down and help you set this up sometime but my experience is with the software side of things, and if someone who knows more than I do about hooking computers together into a decently working network wants to come and take charge, I wouldn't say no.<br>
<br>I'm a student and moving out of town in a couple of months, so I couldn't do much in the way of ongoing support myself but if we can leave you with some idea of what you've got going on then sites such as the one Sam linked will get you a long way.<br>
<br>Assuming you still need this setting up, would anyone be interested in making a group effort of it, perhaps? If we could get a show of hands maybe the next step would be to get a bunch of people to meet in the pub or something and talk over what you need.<br>

I've just started using Ubuntu on a laptop, and am looking for help<br>
networking 3 computers in the charity, next to rollerworld. Is this<br>
something you or someone would be up for helping us out with please?<br>

There is a huge amount of community support available. You may find this<br>
page useful which I am currently drafting:<br>

Usually networking problems can be fixed without the need for an on-site<br>
visit from a professional.<br>
<br>
I hope that you resolve your problem quickly, and I'm very glad to hear<br>
of another charity switching to Free Software.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
