Hi all! I have a bus topology network of 6 pc's on windows 98 and using winproxy (set up on NAT) on one of them to get them out on the internet. The network is working fine on windows platform but I want to "evolve". For a few days I installed on two of them mandrake 8.1 with KDE. The server is still on windows platform. I know it sounds like a joke but first I want to know how a linux machine works before I change the OS on the server. The browsing and IRC are working fine but now I want to share some files between all of those pc's. I installed samba, lisa, reslisa (all the services are running from boot). The windows computers see the linux machines but from the linux machine I can't see the other computers. The error message, when I try to browse the network from Konqueror is: "Could not connect to host localhost". Each machine has it's own static IP address. What means: host localhost? I want to share files and printers not only between linux and windows, and even between one linux machine to another. In fact I want to change the OS's on all the pc's. Please, someone help me before I'm geting crazy. I really want to know how to do that! Costin
