If you wouldn't mind telling us what you are going to do, there's
hope for a meaningful answer.

Possibly pretty much the same thing I'm engaged in now - I've got
everything working with one gateway, 6 hosts on 10.0.0.1/8, and
the gateway box dual-boot: Slackware 9.1 and W2K. When the gateway
is running W2K, it acts pretty much like expected; since the other
6 cow-orkers have no clue, I don't want them to see anything
different when I boot Slack, after I get samba going, of course.

I'll have an answer before tomorrow by RTFM/STFW, and I promise
to share what I "find," albeit judging from how easy dhcpd and
IP masquerading and the firewall were, my smb.conf probably will
be almost indistinguishable from at least one of the examples. :-)
(IOW, the only reason it could take all day to get it up and
running would because I'd have spent 7 hrs & 55 minutes studying,
and about 5 minutes doing the actual work. :-)

Cheers!
Rich
