One more message from the 'newbie' trenches I need a little expert help on getting my machine to recognize network file systems. At work I've got LM 8.0 installed on a Micron Millenium running a ~500mhz PII. We're on a Sun-based intranet supported by a bunch of clever folks who know Unix

I'm with similar questions. Looking forward to hearing responses to this. What hardware is necessary if 2 or 3 machines will be networked in a LAN, connection sharing, etc.)? What working/cost differences are there between hubs, routers and switches or are 2 or more of these synonymous? Dave
