Why do you have Firestarter installed?

Why do you have Firestarter installed?

I installed it under advice from other linux users, why not have it installed, is there something better?

Im about to purchase this 54Mbps Wireless PCI Network LAN Adapter 802.11g/b WP-RT2561T

Link to Product on Ebay

I have a pc with these expansion slots

Two full-height PCI 2.3 slots, one full-height PCI Express x1 slot and one full-height PCI-Express x16 slot

Already connected is a graphics card(PCI?) and a ethernet network card.(PCI?)

Will there be enough expansion slots to fit this also?

And just before I buy is this compatible with ubuntu?

(just recently downloaded so not sure what version this is but know I installed server then added gnome desktop)

[cabbiinc]

Would Firestarter help or hinder? Is it needed at all?

Is it compatible?

Will samaba automatically configure an internet connection share or just a fileshare?

IF not whats the best software or way to network together, as a file server and as a internet connection access point/server?

Based on networking windows and ubuntu together > ubuntu connected to net via eth0

Why does it fail, any explanation?

And Network manager > stop = no directory found

oot@server-station:/home/mark# /etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager stop
bash: /etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager: No such file or directory

Please post the output of this :

cat /etc/network/interfaces
lsb_release -a
uname -a

[superprash2003]

samba client can mount both types of shares..

It appears something is wrong (or corrupted) in your /etc/network/interfaces file (perhaps on line 1). Per albinootje's suggestion, it would be helpful to see the contents of that file.
