I have two macs in my office, an iMac and a mac Mini, a G4 quicksilver at home, and a G4 iBook when I'm on the road. I'd like to use the Mini as both a light duty secretary computer and also as a server for the other macs through wireless (for the iMac at the office) and internet (home Mac and on the road iBook).

My goal is to have a master file folder that all the macs have access to 24/7 through wireless and the internet, so I don't have to sync files all the time or not have all files available to all computers. It'd probably be good for the server mac to backup to another disc for safety sake.

Not sure exactly how to set this up and what, if any, software I'd need. I know that I will need probably need a static IP to access the server Mac from the internet, but am not sure.

Thanks for any help!
Steve
