This is where my ignorance really starts to show. Thanks in advance for
your patience.

Add the server to the /etc/host file of the box you're trying to connect
from.
Make sure that sshd is running on the server. Or VNC server.
It is a good idea to disable ssh v1, and disallow root logins on the
server. Access the server via ssh as a normal user, then either su or
use sudo once you're there.
I found the /etc/hosts file but I don't know what format the information
should be in. Here's the content of my hosts file:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 mysticventures-laptop.cortez-ross
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
How do I determine if SSHD or VNC is running on the server? Security issues
are the next thing on my list.

You might also take a look at FreeNAS for your file server:
I think I'm ok with Samba now, but I'll include the suggestion in the write
up.

What IP address should I be using?
Thanks again everyone.
