Shouldn't he also setup a dhcp server like dnsmasq on the gentoo box? That's what I did, was it an overkill? raf Red wrote: luis jure wrote: hello list, i'm trying to setup my very first network at home. i have my desktop (gentoo linux) and a recently purchased laptop (still with windows XP) both connected to a switch. the switch is also connected to an adsl cable modem to the internet. both computers connect to the internet using pppoe (the isp masks up to 2 ip addresses). so far so good, but i also want to transfer files from one computer to another. which is the most convenient (meaning fastest and without additional hardware) way to do that? and how can i [learn to] configure both systems accordingly? best, lj i think you should make an alias of your network interface for your internal communication and bind samba, nfs or what you plan to use to that interface. look in the /etc/conf.d/net.example for how to make the alias if you don't know how. how to bind your samba, nfs ... to a interface is in the manuals or howto's of the programm you want to use! greetz red -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Well. a DHCP server would most likely be needed if you plan on automatically giving out IP addreses. But for a network of 2 pcs, it might be overkill but heck, it doesn't really matter. Makes things simpler esp when a laptop is concerned.
