Actually as of now am installing ubuntu, problem with windows is that ive tried bridging connection but the DHCP would not work so id have to configure the network settings of each device separately, also only one connection can be enabled for internet connection sharing, so if i set up CN1 for ICS then it work, but once CN2 gets enabled, the client pcs can no longer access the internet

maybe its about time i start and learn something about linux although if someone has any windows info then do let me know,

setting up NAS is later, first i need to get the internet and internet server set otherwise not much point hehe
