I am trying to network two Linux boxes together. I am able to ping each other, so I have a good physical connection. I have the addressing correct. There are currently only two computers, mine and my sons. I am running Red Hat 7.2 and he is using Mandrake 8.1. First I want to understand how to network the two Linux boxes, then I would like to connect in some W2K machines. Any help would be appreciate. Any pointers? Good how-to's? Whatever.
:confused:
Do I have to mount the network connection to access it? Do I need to use ftp. I know how to network W2K and Win98 okay. With windows there is 'My Network Places' and 'Network Neighborhood', what is Linux's equivalent. I *know* windows and linux aren't equivalent, don't miss understand me. ;)
If I get this going at home I want to load Linux on the computer that we used on the network for backing up on.
Heading into the unknown. . . . . but enjoying it. :)
