No, I don't have a network up. As I said, I really don't know anything about networks. What I want is not only file sharing, but the ability to use the Win 7 machine as a print server. (Linux is not fit to be a print server since it takes forever to print .pdf's. Maybe someday. . . .) Also, the Win 7 machine is closer to the printers, which are hard-wired. All of the machines are connected by ethernet
