I have struggled without success for months to try to get a simple network set
up for the three machines in my home office: The OSs are Redhat Linux 6.0,
Windows 95, and Windows 98. When all three were Windows 95 I was able to use
file and printer sharing among the three machines.
I believe that I have tested well enough to be sure that the network card and
driver is working well for the Linux machine. At one point a week or so ago I
was able to ping all three machines from each other. Then I fiddled with some
more settings and now the Win 98 machine no longer even can ping or be pinged.
I could go on into much, much detail about my configuration and all of the
things I have tried and places I have looked for help. But what I'm hoping is
that someone knows of a short, simple, straightforward set of instructions
somewhere that would walk me through how to do this. (I've searched for
how-tos, maybe I just missed the obvious.)
I should note that all three machines have their own modems and that my ISPs
all use dynamic IPs.
TIA!
Mike Green
