I need help with my network

[Zedric]

A large company can often use static IP because of the post office metafor you used. The admin wants to be able to know where a computer is based on it's IP (192.168.0.{2,100} is economy, 192.168.0.{101,200} is sales and so on). Sometimes as easy as computer no 15 in sales should have 192.168.0.215. Just and example.

But, if you have a smaller network, like a home network or small office, there's really no point in knowing this. The computers are so close together that you can access them locally, or if you access them over a network you can use their DNS or NetBIOS name instead of IP. In this case, DHCP is very nice and easy to use, since it mostly requires NO configuration whatsoever. Just "plug-n-play", but for real. I use DHCP whenever I can because I never need to find if an IP is free before I use it. DHCP does it for me.

SmokingWeed3000: You have to check the box about allowing people to write to files on you share. It's in the share dialog.
