LAN's for the Everyman!

LAN\
So its been a little while since my last instructable but i have had a little inspiration from my friends here on instructables so i thought id contribute.  I love LAN's and WAN's.  I study everything about them.  Its a hobby that i will make my profession.  What better kind of job is there than one you love doing?  In this instructable i will go over everything that i think is important for making a killer DIY home network.  Along with examples of great work from some of the others here on instructables and this kid on you tube, you will be ready to go crazy.  Everything from HTPC's to your own file server that does a whole host of cool things like an FTP server so you can have all your important files on the web for you and others to access to large files such as ripped movies and other important files that otherwise cant accessed form remote locations.  I dont know how to cite others instructables on here but i hope i dont upset anyone by adding the url to their instructables and videos because there is no reason that i should redo work that has already been done just fine.

*** If there are any questions about pulling cable or anything in my instructable is lacking in any way please leave my a post and ill answer it.  I know how frustrating it is to go through one of these and not understand a part.

Step 1The Prewire

The Prewire
Thb43 made a great instructable titled Structured Wiring System Design.  Here is the url

http://www.instructables.com/id/Structured_Wiring_System_Design/

His finished product is perfect.  I used to do low voltage prewire in new construction homes in california.  We would load these houses to the max with cat5e and RG-6 coaxial cables along with surround sound and security.  It was disappointing to know that the majority of cable in these homes will be under utilized.  Wiring is pretty straight forward so check out Thb43's instructable.

" Linux shares files just like windows but its not a workgroup share its a SAMBA share. "


Linux (Samba) shares ARE Windows compatible workgroup shares. They just add the Samba name in the comment field.
