I recently went to 10.1 and now would like to set up a simple home network consisting of:
Dlink DI-514 router connected to my linux box (it has my cloned mac) XP wireless labtop Another XP 10/100 connected machine. I would like to: share printer (connected to my linux box) share files between all machines What I know--not much 1. I setup private IPs in the router. (I am assuming router firewall is sufficient). 2. All machines have internet access via router. 3. I can ping machines from my machine by ip and name (I've populated the hosts file) 4 I can only ping by ip from the XP machines. (I guess I need a DNS ??, How??) 5. Using mdk control center, sbm mount points, search for servers shows the other machines, but I can't connect. (no domain?) 6. Using XP network wizzard, seems to want a 10/100 connection not a wireless. 7. The more I read the less I know. What do I do on my box? What do I do on the XP machines? Mike
