[newbie] Networking linux boxes
Just when I have finally mastered Samba to network my Linux box with the family's Windoze machines, my son has decided to migrate to Linux. How do I remain networked with him ? NFS ?

[newbie] Networking Linux
Greetings, everyone: My name is Riker. I joined the list a couple days ago and have been enjoying the dialouge and exchanges that have taken place very much. I will ask my question first and then give some background afterward if anyone is interested in reading it. Will Linux-Mandrake, with one network card per machine (two machines - peer to peer), one with a dial up connection, share the internet? Been having some troubles getting it setup. Thanks a bunch! Background (Casual reading) I'm currently a computer technician and work on systems that only have Windows operating systems installed on them. I haven't been a technician for very long and am being educated daily on the limitations Windows has and the conundrums it seems to cause. I find it boorish and bloated, and with all the money we people spend on it, greatly over priced. About a year ago, I took a stab at Red Hat Linux and had great succes installing it and making it do the things I wanted it to do, but it would not run my WINMODEM (not its fault by any measure). So I went back to Windows full time. Not just becuse of Linux's inability to run my modem, but because I was working with Windows everyday and needed to bone up at home. Well, after seeing so much of Windows and its problems, I decided it was time to get a real operating system. Something that I could rely on to be there when I needed it. So, while perusing the isles of the local Wal-Mart, I saw a nice package with a big penguin on it. Linux-Mandrake. Done. I bought it without reservation and raced home to install it. I have had it on my system ever since and have almost forgotten Windows completely(Win2000 and WinME). The install was perfect and everything was detected without flaw. So now when someone comes into the shop and ask me what operating system they should run for realiablity and stability I say Linux without question. To boast a little more about Linux power, we've started receiving calls on how to setup Linux and what distrobution to use. I think Linux may be rounding the curve, finally. -- Linux - The way of the future

Hi Riker, Glad to hear you are so happy with Linux. And yes, you can have a shared Internet connection from the machine. You need to set up IP Masquerading. I hope this will get you in the right direction, I have not gone into this myself yet. But, heck, when someone guides you through it, why not should I follow the lead and do it here also, so I know what I am talking about!! Paul -- Yesterday it worked. Today nothing is working. Windows is like that. http://nlpagan.net - ICQ 147208 - Registered Linux User 174403 -=PINE 4.21 on Linux Mandrake 7.1=-
[newbie] networking linux to windows
Hi, I am having trouble getting my Linux and Windows machines to see each other on a LAN. I have tried pinging but all I get is " host unreachable". Any ideas to what I may have missed in configuring the LAN?
RE: [newbie] Networking Linux-Win95
Check out Samba. Samba allows you to access Windows shares and also allows you to share disk space and printers to other Windows users. -Original Message- From: Neilesh Patel [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, August 09, 1999 9:44 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] Networking Linux-Win95 I have a Linux Server (well it's not really a server, but I'd like to call it one) that has a deskjet 720C printer (HP) connected to it. is there anyway for the windows machines to print to the printer, while I'm running Linux on the server? If so how? let me know thanks neil
