-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 You will be dealing with samba to get this working. I was able to do most of what you desire at my old university using samba. I am partial to a nifty app called komba. Head on over to http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=27429 and download the app from sourceforge. I used it to find and connect to shared printers, fileservers, etc. As for global address books, I don't think so. Me thinks (correct me if I'm wrong) that such a beast is more the purview of Outlook and related monstrocities. There are apps out there that supposedly will allow you to work with exchange servers but I know very little about them.
