Yes, with only an hour before the hoardes arrive, we'll have to get our
skates on..

First, I think we should agree what we want to try to set up...

a) Obviously we will want a 10/100 wired network,
b) Do we want to try to set up a WiFi network as well?
c) Presumably we will require DHCP services and so on
d) We'll require a machine to host Ian's HDD's with the MP3 archive on

Keiran is also nearby, available, and ready to assist... - K, I think your
Cisco switch would be our preferred option at the mo...

I reckon we'll need at least one server setup to do (c) and (d) above, - I
can take care of that if required, - I can build a W2K server in advance
with DHCP scopes configured and so on... and just plug it in on the day.

For a wireless setup, - who has the "easiest" WAP to provide? -
mine's not
*too* bad (not hidden in the loft or anything), but I'd need to totally
reconfigure it, - turn off WEP, turn off MAC filter, change ESSID and so
on... - if anyone's got one that's not yet "in live use" that
would save me
this hassle...

Or it could be moved to Kierans.... (I just *know* I've spelled that
wrong!)
