After looking through the HOWTOS on networking. Particularly the
`Ethernet HOWTO' I didn't see much about connecting a linux box to a
win95/98 box. I hope that is because it is routinely done and not
much trouble.
I have some experience on win95 OS and more on Linux OS but no
experience with a network hookup.
I'm talking a homeboy setup where I connect my Linux box to my wifes
win98 box. Mine is Pentium 200, hers is HP Pentium 330.
Are there snafus involved? And how about just basic functioning..
I have a printer hooked up in my setup. Parallel port Deskjet 690c.
If she wants to access that printer from win98 OS, how does that work?
Do both computers need to be running? Will she have to use Linux
commands or will she be able to use the win98 print dialogs?
My setup is a a tri-boot deal right now. RH linux on one 3.2GB disk and
a small win 95 plus SCO unix (OpenServer) on another partitioned 3.2GB disk.
Hers is an 8GB fat32 disk w/no partitions
I'm running kernel 2.0.35. Am I right to assume several network
drivers are built in to it already, that will connect the two machines?
