| | Could i run Linux operating system on my server and have my other 2 computers running on windows xp professional, as i have heard that it can be a right pain in the groin  to network together. So would it be alright to do this or will it stop my internet. |

Yup this is very much possible - your linux server can run a wide variety of services like FTP/WWW/Mail etc painlessly - while you windows systems can avail these services over the LAN.. now if your Linux server's also connected to your modem-router (assuming that u've got an ADSL link) then you can offer these services to the outside world too ... You can do some really cool stuff with such a configuration.. Regards, m^e

Mail handling's a different story bro - nothing as powerful as linux when it comes to it - but as always, it needs a good bit of configuring... Lemme know if you need any help on it  I'm experimenting with it myself at this point and have picked up a good lot.

FreeBSD is a good choice too for this kind of setup. I have been told by new bies that they found FreeBSD documentation to be better and hence the job was done easily.

How Do I Create Static Routes In Windows Xp?
(11) Here's my setup: My PC connects to my Internet facing wireless router via a USB-pluggable

router's LAN port is 192.168.1.1. The NIC which is embedded in the motherboard has remained
disabled so far. Everything works OK, but I recently got a hold of a crossover cable, and I started
using it to connect a laptop to my PC. So I enabled the embedded NIC on the PC and gave it an IP
