Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: 3.4

Even with setting up a shared system, it can be "tricky" to get it 
working properly.

Matching "workgroups" and other options can get people confused. Then 
getting some setting to be able to share read-only or fully shared.  
Then getting different OSs to share with each other on a private network.

With a router involved, it can make life safer, but software firewalls 
are a must.

I have a private network involving 3 routers, a switch and an old 
rack-mounter 24-port hub.  I need to share 4 printers with all my 
systems while I allow friends in my building wireless access to my Net 
connection while not giving them any ability to even see my printers and 
computers.  Talk about doing some "weird" network setups.
