Re: Easy hook up of a laptop to a home network

[Joel Hammer]

Well, despite the good advice to use the combo hub, I couldn't find any in
the COMP USA store. So, I got a crossover cable and hooked up the computer
to a linux box into which I put another network card. Surprisingly hard, since I
had to subnet the thing (I guess) and of course that required changing
everything on my home network (routers, firewall, DNS, samba). I haven't got
a clue yet on getting the DHCP server to work with a subnet, but that's not
needed for just one client!
