Geez, HomeBrewer... You ask a simple question and you get a bunch of
geeks spouting off about linux. This thread will be here for an
eternity and no one asked you a few simple questions:
#1 what is your level of expertise in networking and windows (assuming
your machines are windows based)? What OS are you running? Do you
have the "Windows 2000 Server" software or some such ar do you want to
set up a PC to just act as a server?
#2 You've indicated: "for me to access from work...." I'm assuming
that this is for your use only and you won't want access granted by
the "superhackers" that are currently in a debate in this thread.
Please clarify.
#3 Please describe your home network from layer 1 throught 3. Please
include your type of internet connectivity and speed, and the brand of
hardware you're using for layer 2 and 3 connectivity.
I do this $H1t for a living. Perhaps I can help you. If you're
located in the DC metro area, maybe I can pay a visit and show you
first hand.

I have set up my home network, configured my router, and a dsl modem, but
now I'm back to cable. XP Pro - on everything - no server software, just
want my old pc to set there and wait on me to call on it for files.

Correct - just for my uses and maybe a few family and friends to get files
from me.

FL, but thanks for the offer - also Jim_85cj is working with my offline and
has really helped so far. I'm working late tonight, have to do more on the
computer tomorrow.
here's what I have:
Cable modem, *** ISP - non static ip I'm sure - but haven't checked
linksys wireless router - although both desktops are hardwired - the
wireless is for my laptop.
2 desktops running win xp pro.
I have a 20gig HD in the old computer, with a 1.5 ghz amd processor and
512MB ram.
I want to have the old computer sitting there running, hosting my files for
me. Small stuff like hosting pics for ebay, uploading large files to access
at work or on the road, etc. I don't want or need it to be public, just
secure enough to keep hackers out.
