[newbie] networking two mandrake 10.1 PC systems
I have two PCs sharing the same internet router, which I would like to network together. Both PCs are running mandrake 10.1, but I can't seem to make any network connections. Do I need to install something like samba on both machines? Thanks in Advance Carlton Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

NFS doesn't have the same levels of security that Samba has. Go Figure. -- Mr. Geek Registered Linux User #190712 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Thanks in Advance Carlton There are a number of ways you can network them together. (This is Linux you just knew there had to be more than one :-) Samba is one way. Other ways are NFS and Fish The simplest IMO is fish.
