[newbie] connecting 2 pc's to a linux server
Hi, Is there a way i can connect 2 windows pc's to a linux server without using a hub. I have cat 5 cabling and a few network cards and I want to install the 2 cards in the linux box and connect each one to each of the windows pc's. I already have one connected (the cable is using crossover wiring). The windows pc's will access the internet using the linux server as a gateway. Can anyone help or point me in the right direction (a howto or whatever). thanks lee Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[newbie] networking with linux
Hi, I want to network my linux box with my two other machines (win2k and win98), I want the linux box to act as a server on the network as it will eventually be connected to the internet and the other two shall access the net through it (hopefully). I have not configured the linux box at all as i am unsure about networking with linux. Where is the best place to start, anyone got any decent sites that cover this for the newbie? I am just unsure where to start with all this. thanks in advance lee Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[newbie] accessing the floppy drive
Hi, I have recently installed mandrake 8, whenever I try to access the floppy drive when it has a disk in (tested on boot disk in case non linux file system was the problem) I get the message - Unable to enter file:/mnt/floppy. You do not have access rights to this location. I have not altered any settings since installing and this error is given even when logged in as root. Can anyone help? thanks in advance lee Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
