[gentoo-user] small network
Hello all, I want to make a network with two gentoo machines at home, I don't know what is needed.Could someone point me to some HOWTO?

It really depends on what you want to do with the network. You'll find many howto's through google, though. Also, have a look at forums.gentoo.org for guides on how to share your portage tree between two computers, set up a mail server to serve two (or more) computers and more.

As the first person that replied to this message stated it really depends on what you want to do; A cheap and easy solution might just be two Nics with 10BaseT connecability some 10BaseT cable and a simple hub. If there is only ever going to be two boxes on the lan anything more might be overkill. Phil -- http://www.philscorner.org -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I have tried to do that with a cable (rj45 as it's called in France) connecting them, but then I could figure out what to do. There is some utility in KDE but I could not make it work This is why I believe I need a howto; I am currently reading the NET-HOWTO but any other advice will be welcome Thx all, -- Jean Magnan de Bornier 3 Cours Victor Hugo, 13980 Alleins France Tel: 04 90 59 33 94Port: 06 09 17 35 87 mèl: jm.bornier*at*free.fr -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

So, can you ping to other PC? noro -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] small network
Jean, Remember that you HAVE to use a crossover cable, as someone mentioned previuosly. If you make a direct connection from network card to network card without a hub, a normal network cable won't do the trick.

This is an implementation of Microsoft filesharing for Linux, and will allow you to drag & drop files on your PC to & from your Linux box; I would imagine that KDE / Gnome also allow drag & drop of files on SMB shares, or you can mount Windows shares at the command-line on your Linux box. First, as someone else has pointed out, you need to ensure that the two machines are connected via the RJ45 cable (as it's also called elsewhere). You need to allocate each machine a different IP address on the same subnet - something like 192.168.1.5 & 192.168.1.6, subnet mask 255.255.255.0 - then `ping` between them. When I first started networking I found Helmig's HOWTO for Windows useful: http://wown.com/ For configuring Samba: http://tinyurl.com/nnpz HTH, Stroller. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
