Gurus on the LUAU List..
Could somebody please assist with this request since I am not an XP
person and Fedora guys on this list know a lot more Linux than I do
since I am a FreeBSD user.
Thanks, Al Plant...

Capt. Al,
I was on the internet looking at some local linux pages (HOSEF, MPLUG,
etc...) and I came across your site. Noticing that you are a webmaster,
I thought you may be able to answer a networking question of mine. I've
tried to look at the documentation, but it's still very confusing for
me. I am currently emloying a wired-wireless network. In windows (XP
Pro and Media Center), everything works fine and all computers can "see"
each other. However, in Linux, it's a different story. We are
currently sharing a cable internet connection. Basically, my
brother-in-law has the computer with MS Media Center. His computer is
connected to the cable modem and the D-Link DI-624 wireless router. My
desktop computer, running both Windows XP Pro and Fedora Core 3, has a
Belkin F5D7000 wireless adapter with the Hawkings Technology HST-1 range
extender. My laptop, also running Windows XP Pro and Fedora Core 3, has
a D-Link DWL-G650.
I can access the internet using either OS, but am having problems
understand how to implement networking under Linux. It should pretty
much be the same across most LInux distros, although BSD is most likely
different. My question is this: do I simply need to add a route to the
other computer running Linux (the router assigns static IPs to both
computers via DCHP)? In other words, can I simply do the following:?
route add -host <IP of other computer> wlan0
or would I have to do something else? I guess I could just go ahead and
try it, but wanted to ask someone in advance, in case I screwed anything
up.
Thanks in advance for your reply,
William Jones
