1. Using firefox get list of ip addresses from 192.168.2.1
Now let us say that \"Earth\" is 192.168.2.3 and we want to connect to the S drive

2. Places
3. Connect to Server
4. Windows Share
5. Server - 192.168.2.3/s

If necessary complete the pop up box

You need to set up the HOSTS file.
Bit complicated because you do not have write permissions.

I found the following which at least got my Intranet working the way it should.
ssh as root and chown the files/directories as needed.
ie... from the command line:
[prompt] $ ssh root@some_server
[root@some_server] # chown -R <user's name>:<user's group> some_directory
[root@some_server] # chown <user's name>:<user's group> some_file
after changing the owner, the user can now change permissions on those files. you as root should be able to change permissions of those files.
