Hi again...
I just posted a question (actually more like 5 questions), and reading some
older posts, setting up a network is not as easy as it is purported to be.

Can anyone recommend a website or two that covers setting up a network
without all the trial and error?

Posting to the MS newsgrouops has always been very helpful, but it would be
nice to read about this stuff in a bit more depth, and not just when
something does not work!
Thanks again...
John
