No need to driver hop. Also, looking at this thread, I can tell you will need to do two things to get good network connectivity with the rest of your LAN: 1. `man smb.conf` and edit /etc/samba/smb.conf appropriately; the most interesting bits are setting your workgroup name and specifying the smbpasswd file (you'll have to create it as well, man smbpasswd) and 2. make sure the 'smb' service is running.
