Hello all.
Getting a broadband internet connection into my office soon, so I have downloaded the SME 5.6 ISO.
My questions are;
How does SME share the internet connection to the rest of the network (ie. is it NAT or proxy based)
Is SME suitable as a fileserver and printserver for Windows
Will a K6-2/233MHz do for 15 clients
Can SME serve a website with Apache (only *nix webserver I can use) if I have a static IP for the internet connection?
Also, the modem I have has a ADSL in and Ethernet Out... if I put two network cards in the SME machine, can one go to the modem, and one go the the rest of the network, via a switch.
Thankyou in advance, Adam.

Yes

Yes, but the server manager may be a little slow. Add as much ram as the board will accept.

Yes, Apache is installed by default.

I have started. It just takes a surprising amount of time to read it all.
Thankyou very much for your reply.
