Thread: correct network settings for different applications/tasks

i'm trying set networking various applications , tasks new machine running lucid. there 3 main tasks.

1) accessing servers on local network (including windows share)

2) remote access these linux boxes offsite using ssh

3) setting webserver

regarding 1), have machine sitting here running karmic (9.10) accessing local network servers , windows shares. shouldn't hard. can't seem working on 10.04. must done enable access local servers on subnet? example, if go places -> network nothing shows icon windows network. on machine running 9.10 see several servers. i'm using tutorial here:

http://linux.about.com/library/gnome/blgnome6n11a.htm

under nautilus click

file -> connect server -> windows share

, after entering information error: failed mount windows share. should mention have internet connection , can ping between these 2 linux boxes. once access windows machine perhaps can tackle 2 , 3

two , 3 easier. advice (always) avoid wasting time windows.

ssh , httpd?
