Hello all. Looking for advice on how to configure my home network. Research has shown me that there are many ways to set up a network. Lots of advice here and while I've tried a lot of things I read about here and other places, I've had limited success in achieving what I need. Bear with me as I explain what I have and how I'd like it set up.
I have two desktop and one laptop computers and one all in one printer. There is an ISP supplied box. Frankly, I don't know what the thing is called, a modem or a router. The cable comes into the house and connects to it and it provides the wifi signals for the computers and the printer as well as internet access. I have Mint Victoria on all three computers and all three have Nord VPN installed. SSH and Samba are installed on all three already.
I am the only person on this network. On all three, the password and username are the same. Now for what I'd like the set up to be. Sounds like it should be easy but I'm having a hard time getting it set up. I want to have access to the printer, all folders and files on all the computers from all the computers. I don't mind having to sudo to access root, but I'd like to see those files, if that makes sense.
Is this in any way possible?
