[newbie] Networking setup
Hi All, I am in the process of building a 3 computer network which is as follows: Tower acting as server a desktop as a workstation and a laptop workstation needs to be removable from network That said now the laptop has a problem the linksys EtherFast 10/100 is not reginized hear a long and short beep when inserting. Did some checking at Linksys web site,they say to get it to work have to do some compiling. heck I can just barely get things done as is. Have tons of books on Linux,but they all talk way above me. Does anybody know of a network card that is *no* problem?? So far I can ping the tower at Ip address and dns. Can ping the desktop at its IP address but not its dns. Hope somebody can lend a hand (not geek) Thanks Robert F. Trettel Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
