Hum, I am no linux expert, but here is what I have done with my network so far. I have a router that connects two windows machine and two linux machine. I use a router so all my machines and my roomate's machine can access the internet. I use Road Runner. The reason why I started to play with linux was to have a web server. Then I wanted to experiment with ftp server, then ssh server... and my last thing was to get Samba to work. Samba is a freely available SMB server for UNIX With samba, I can access my linux drive on my windows machine. It is like mapping a drive in windows. A router like mine is about $80. I heard that you can network computer if you have more than one nic on each machine but I never did that so I don't know how to do it. A router is the easiest way if you ask me. I hope that I was somewhat usefull, If you have more specific question, I would be more than happy to help you out, Martin. ---- Husker Linux Users Group mailing list To unsubscribe, send a message to huskerlug-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with a subject of UNSUBSCRIBE
