Hi all,
As I am doing some serious thrashing/hair-pulling, I am in bad need of a
consultant that knows Linux VERY well, and is willing to provide me extremely
explicit/literal directions to address the following persistent/annoying 
problems:

1) I MUST to be able to transfer files to/from Win/Linux PCs (pref command 
line).
     I had this working to some degree (via Nautilis Network Server).
     But since I rebooted, I only get "Nautilis cannot contact the smb 
master browser"
     when I run smbclient.
     So either I forgot some command that I entered previously, or I messed 
something up.

    btw, smbclient is supposed to give an ftp-like command prompt (can't 
make it happen).

     After much aggravation, I wrote 2 pgms to send/receive files via sockets
     (thinking that would surely work). Not: Cannot connect to the Linux PC.
     I assume that the firewall has something to do with it (though I can 
ping to the IP).

     Tried to disable firewall. Main pgm that does this is not on my PC 
(though I installed
     everything). Terminal pgm that does this accepts my inputs, yet does 
nothing with
     them (if I run it again, all is as it was).

2)  I need step-by-step instructions on how to setup VNC, such that it displays
     the entire desktop (not just a terminal window).

Will gladly pay for time. My sanity is worth it.

Thanks,

Mark Gilmore
