Hi Greg,
Things seems to be working. I.m not using DHCP and not enabled in
pmfirewall. Is that all right?
Box 2----- I've also have linux on it, and want to access it thru linux.
Box2 also has the printer attached to it that I want to use.
I got Box2 where it can access the internet and network. I had to disable
serials ports in the Bios to get both PCI Devices to work (NIC and Modem).
I installed pmfirewall on box2 with same options I used on Box 1.
Now--- I want to access Box2 printer and be able to mount both computers
from each other. When I try to print from Box 1 to box2 printer I get
"unable to get offical name for local machine Intel.localdomain"
Names
Box1= Intel.localdomain
Box2=Athlon.localdomain
As always any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Bob
