I have a good and easy to understand HOWTO posted on my website,
http://www.nwaa.com, for connecting linux to linux networks.
It is the result of many hours of frustration to make the durn thang work.
My thanks go out to all on this list who had patience to help a (network)
newbie see through the mud.
The howto covers setting up of network cards as well as getting the mount and
export files set up for the linux boxen.
Hope this will in a small way return to the list some of the help I've
recieved.
THANKS LINUX GUYS 'N GAL'S.
