Thanks a ton for all the help, I understand ftp much better now, but I still have 2 more questions...
I still can't get it working. I downloaded look@lan for my client and server, and for some reason they both detected themselves, the router and the computers that are hardwired to the router, but they didn't detect any of the computers connected wirelessly... (both client and server are connected wirelessly) is there any way to have them detect each other, or will I have to move the ftp to the router and hardwire it?
Also, another forum said that I needed IIS to have the server work. I can get IIS off of windows server 2000, but is it necessary? even for a simple lan ftp?
Thanks again
