Hey guys,
The small office I work at has 11 computers that need access to a very simple file server. They have only about 25gb of files that they need to share across the network, and that's it. They need nothing else, just access to those files on the small file server.
Now, before you go yelling for Linux, I'm the only one who knows anything about Linux among these untech savvy people and I won't be around for all that long. When I leave, they'd be doomed.
How exactly does the 10 connection max thing work in XP pro? The documents we're talking about are word, pdf, excel, and html docs. Pretty simple, but the computers will open the files off the server.
It's just kinda lame that I might have to recommend them spending so much money on SBS with 15 clients just to give 11 computers access to 25gb of .docs.
Maybe I should just configure up Samba and tell them to contract someone to maintain it when I leave.
Thanks for the education.
