I am going to load up Ubuntu server after lunch to get our office network sorted. I am going to load ebox which I assume will invoke SAMBA and anything else needed. My questions are based around my confusion about how the windows PCs should be configured:
1. I would like at least 2 workgroups on the windows PCs. Is the server going to cope with more than one?
2. I assume workgroups is the way to go. The tutorial I am going to follow is (albeit for 8.10) http://www.howtoforge.com/running-a-file-and-print-server-with-ebox-on-ubuntu8.04-server
Am I right in thinking a domain is not required on windows?
Initially, I want to get file sharing and backups (on-site and off-site) working but later want remote access. DHCP I intend ffrom the existing ADSL router.
