[COMP] Re: networking protocol question

Thanks Nigel

"You can do both, but yes .. Samba requires IP"

umm, so the netbuei (that's probably spelled wrong...)
will only be useful for the communication between the
98 boxes...

umm, sounds like I should do away with netbuei altogether.

but I'm using a linksys...it's already assigned an ip because
it's a dhcp server in addtion to what ever else it does
(that I don't yet understand...port forwarding? filtering???)

Can the nic have 2 ip addresses at the same time??

One assigned by the router and one for lan sharing?

Can a nic do that?

Or can I send both lan file sharing and Inet sharing via the
same ip address?

<thinking out loud...>
this rasies securtity questions...umm, maybe not...the internal
ip addresses are translated thru the NAT and non routable via the
Internet???

Am I on the right track or hopelessly confusing myself from
almost
enough info???
