<P>What I'm trying to do is to get a Linux box up and running that I can store all the stuff that would normally go onto a local hard drive. IE, it'll be a networked drive controller that'll also handle printers and maybe (when that's all working) my internet connection too. At the moment I don't have a modem for my Linux box - it has a different card size from my old machine.</P>
<P>SME is allegedly based on Red Hat 7.2 so it's supposed to auto-configure itself to my network card. Sadly, it doesn't seem to know this. When I bring up Network Neighbourhood, the drive lights on the server come on but the server doesn't show up in Network Neighbourhood.</P>
<P>Obviously, without it showing up, I can't use it. I've spent probably the best part of three weeks trying to get this to work. I've had a freshly-built machine lying idle for about 6 weeks because Linux just defies all my attempts to get it to work.</P>
<P>I need a quick solution that's 110% guaranteed to work. I'm so fed up with the whole idea now that I'm beginning to believe Linux is quite naff and I'm thinking of getting NT server instead.</P><p><p><br><hr size=1><a href="http://uk.yahoo.com/mail/tagline_plus/?http://uk.promotions.yahoo.com/yplus/btoffer.html"><b><font face="Arial" size="2">Yahoo!
