I haven't setup a local network in Linux since 7.2, but I sure don't remember it being this hard. I can ping each computer from the other,.. cannot connect to it, mount it, get samba ot nfs to do it for me either. I can even get ifconfig and route to see it.
Is there something similar to the iptables problem that Guillaume Cottenceau mentioned for the internet sharing? This really needs to be setup easier. I set it up in Windows no problem, plus there is plenty of good info on the net for it. Seems like there are quite a few ways in Linux, but can't get it to work. I remember using swat to setup samba last time and mounted the other computer. Come to think of it, the other computer had Windows on it at that time and has Linux now. Not sure if that matters, it should be able to mount it. Any one else having any troubles with a local network? Not sure what I am doing wrong. Dave
