Loading ...could anyone tell me the steps to set up a LAN using Linux server with windows clients?
Hi guys,
I want to set up a LAN in my office using a Linux(RedHat) as a server with clients of windows OS.I do have a hub and a couple of PCs with windows xp. I installed linux 9(with everything option) on one of the PCs and want to configure it as a server. It is the only server in my network.
Can anyone help me how to configure?Im not good with linux commands….I want you to tell me using the GUI….don’t tell me to read the manual..it uses commands….if possible make it as detail as possible…like “click this”,”choose this option”..etc..of each step. I want the server to give the following services:telnet,ftp,http and programming from remote computer…etc.
Thank u.

You have to setup Samba and yes I am going to tell you to go read the manual but here is a step by step manual, slightly dated but should get you going.
I would also suggest not doing such projects yourself unless you fully understand the technology and it’s what the business pays you to do. The typical small office is much better served to have an outside vendor complete such task who knows the product. The reason for this is simple. If you take the time you have worked on this plus the mistakes you will make and the time they take to correct and actually give that time a value based on what you should have been doing to earn the business money most businesses will find that having outsourced the work is cheaper. Time is money and even in the small office taking time away from what makes the company money has a value and needs to be added into the cost of doing the deployment yourself.
