Hi All Well the positive news is that I am able to connect the two computers and transfer files by fish even though I am unable to log off the computer I am SSH into without rebooting that computer so I have fish working with a slight issues.
Next item on the Network agenda is to access the "Test Data Base" that I have on one box using OpenOffice 1.9 database management program in the other box. You may recall that I have two Mandrake 10.1 boxes connected with a router [Fire wall currently turned off. Fire will to be activated after I figure out DB connection procedure.] Anyway I did the following in this attempt to connect: Opened OpenOffice 1.9 selected new DB and then connect to an existing DB. [Why connect to an existing DB is under "Create New DB" instead of being under "Open" is beyond my grasp but that is where it is located.] Anyway a dialog box opens where you can either directly enter the file name or select by browse for the directory where the DB is located you want to connect to. I tried entering: http://branch @192.168.1.3/home/Test-DB I received the folowing notice: The file does not exist. Would you like to create it? I tried entering: fish://branch @192.168.1.3/home/Test-DB And I again received the folowing notice: The file does not exist. Would you like to create it? If anyone knows how to use OpenOffice DB manager to connect to a DB in another computer I would appreciate a little guidance in doing such. Thanks Frank
