setting up a Network file server at work...5 or more users

Yeah, I have no good idea, and I'm not finding it on the forums, I'll search the wiki next, but I don't know how, is there a good resource for this?

What I'm assuming is I just install the core and then use Samba as the server for the network......but I've never done it before and without testing it on my home network I'm not sure if it will work, and I don't have 5 users at home, I only have three.

what is the limit for a Windoze XP network? I think I'm really close to the limit at work.

The only advice I can give is to google setup server
Desktop ASUS M2N-MX SE Plus, AMD 64 X2 Dual Core 5200, 4 Gb RAM, GeForce 9500 1GB
Notebook HP CQ61-311AX, AMD CPU M320, 4 Gb RAM, Radeon HD 4300 512 MB
Wireless AR9285, Audio ATI SBx00 (IDT 92hd75B2x5)
Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once!

I don't get it.
Are things really that different with 3 or 5 users? Is there something that might work with 3 users, but not with 5? :scratch:
