Right - thanks - that's where I am connected wrongly. Need a cable from
modem to switch.
that is accurate only if you are speaking of a broadband modem that connects
with an ethernet cable, if you are speaking of a dial-up modem, you should
have that connected to the linux box serial port(or if internal. then you
will need a network card from the computer to the switch, and just make sure
your linux box's '/etc/hosts' and your windows boxes 'c:\hosts' (not
hosts.txt just hosts), file names and IDs all the IPs on the network...
what type of modem is it were are talking about...
It's a dial up hardware modem which works fine with mandriva. I just
realised that previous advice wouldn't work ... It's Linux to Linux,
mandriva to mepis at present, but second box will change. I have
checked, and both boxes have networking capability - have the details
somewhere.
