Bill, These are rather terse answers because I can't tell you at this time exactly how to do these things. I put this under the category of "any help" and only responded because, AFAICT, no one else has responded so far.

I believe you will have to download a Java something (program) and then install it in konqueror, maybe via a plugin. I can't think of the correct name for the Java program, but I think of it as the Java interpreter. Several varieties are available, including one from IBM. If you search the archives, you will find posts that mention the varieties and make recommendations as to the best. > > 2. How can i set up the network section under kongueror.

The only reason for my uncertainty is that I've heard vague things about limitations in XP about what they allow you to network with -- I vaguely have the impression that all computers networked with an XP computer have to be running XP, but, assuming and hoping that information is incorrect, what you want is Samba which is a Linux equivalent of the Microsoft smb protocol and networking software. You will be able to share files and printers, and the Windows box will be able to find them in Network Neighborhood just like it would if it was networked to other Windows computers. (And, of course, the Linux box can use access files and printers on the Windows box.) I've done a little bit with Samba, I've experimented with smbclient and mounting a windows drive in a Linux box by setting up fstab appropriately. (All this stuff was from several installs ago, so I can't send you a current fstab or smbclient command or configuration.) If you want your Linux boxes to see stuff on the Windows box, all you need is smbclient or modifications to fstab. If you want the Windows box to see stuff on the Linux boxes, AFAIK, a Samba server must be set up on each Linux box. When I attempted all of this, I found instructions that seemed rather simple for the smbclient and fstab stuff, the Samba server seemed to require a lot more reading. (It might be simple enough, I just haven't tried to wade through it.) Actually, I've just moved some pages from by private TWiki to WikiLearn hopefully to help: (These are TWiki pages, so if you find errors or can make them better you can register and edit the pages -- see http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Wikilearn/AboutThesePages.) (I do not consider the pages "finished" -- I moved them to WikiLearn just now in order to possibly provide some help to you.) http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Wikilearn/Samba http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Wikilearn/InstallingSambaBeginner http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Wikilearn/SambaResources http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Wikilearn/fstabFile http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Wikilearn/SambaMount http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Wikilearn/SambaClientInKonqueror Hope this helps, Randy Kramer
