Most distros detect wifi adaptors with out a prob.

I used that them extensively during 90's and early 2000 yes they are slow compared to the 10/100 Ether net or wifi of today.;-) GY > -Girish > > ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Arun told me that nowadays this is a non issue. We can also connect machines together with a null modem serial cable but that is slower, messy and of course more complex. -Girish -- Gayatri Hitech http://gayatri-hitech.com gir...@gayatri-hitech.com ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Connecting two machines directly. Was Re: [Ilugc] [Tip] Temporarily stop/start a process in linux
Hi, > if you know the steps means please because i am new to linux. I will try. >> You can just add an ethernet cable between the PC eth0 and laptops >> eth0, configure them with custom ip addresses and rsync/scp the files >> you need. I think that should work most of the time. Just add a ethernet cable between the two machines. That is straightforward, right? On each machine, as root, do the following. machine1 # ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2 machine2 # ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.3 you should be able to ping the machines from one another. Then rsync the folders machine1 # rsync -r machine2:/path/to/files . should do the trick. Again, this is not the only way. I am not sure what GUI options are available. Some research on google should give you all the methods you can try. Abishek ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
