<big snip> Simply put, you set up the MDK server as a DHCP server - so that all the "client" machines are set for DHCP; install Samba on the OS/X box so that you have SMB protocol across all machines (and of course, make sure they're all in the same workgroup); setup the ADSL router for your ADSL, setup a firewall on the MDK server with NAT for the DHCP network - and all in all, that's purty much it. Nothing "eclectic" about it really - aside from setting up Samba on the OS/X box - but that should be a piece of cake.
