I am very new to the world of Linux (RH version 5.2)--I've only been using it since this past December. So far it's been dual-booting with Win 98. I also have a printer attached to this PC. My second PC has Win NT. Both have modems. The PC's are approx. 20-30 feet apart. What I would like to do is network them both to share the printer and dialup access to the net. I've looked through the FAQ's and How-To's etc. but they seemed a bit advanced.
These are some the question's I have so far:
1) What kind of connection would I need, i.e., NIC cards, cabling
type/length, compatibility with Linux and NT? Can I connect the two
PC's through their modems?
2) Would I need Windows installed on both, or can I have the
server run Linux and the client run Win NT?
3) How much would it cost? (I'm in Canada, so when you
quote could you indicate whether it's US $$$ or not.)
I'm sure I'll have more q's.
