ok i have been trying to setup a network with out useing the command lines lol just to see how effective it is now i have been able to get all computers seen on the network it goes like this( internet connected to the houseb--> to wireless/wired router--> two ports go to the server--> port three goes to the second wired computer--> port four is unused inless i need a wirless laptop wired to download somthing since netowrk isnt working) thats how its configured now each computer has name they all have their own ip address their static not dhcp. i have debian 4.0 all up to date the laptops are currently windows now i can see the network with windows but need a password to get in and no pasword and username i give doesnt work thats problem one. problem two is the linux machines to see the machines tho when you go to a machine other than it self it says couldnt dispaly any files or folders. on the other hand i have been trying to setup groups and user groups for individual users so that only certain users can acess certain things. now it saysing i cant acess it cuz im not root but in the debian i cant log into root other then in terminal i wad wonder if there were easy solutions to these problems with out going into terminal.

Hmmmmm,
I notice you are having trouble spelling

and using punctuation

and understanding the use of upper case

and the obfuscation that double negatives introduce.

Perhaps you could re-read your post, cut out the ramblings and post a rational question that we have a chance of being able to answer.

Sorry - your posting is unreadable

if you were able to point out all the mistake sin my post then obvisouly you can read it and be able to understand what the porblems are.
