My router does not handle DHCP reservations. Even if it did, it would not
update the DNS records.

I really do not want to use Windoze for any type of sever services. I want
to be totally linux in the next six months for servers. The only windows
boxes on my networks will be clients.

I am looking for just bit more detail on how to configure SAMBA. I am now
scouring the internet for reference websites.
