Hi,
Let me clarify . Both boxes have win98/linux on them. I have dual booting
setup for Both. Box 1 is the one I have been working with all along. It has
External Modem on serial port 2. It seems to be working.
I ran into problems on Box2 getting both Nic and Modem to work at same time.
Sound familar. I disabled serial ports in cmos to free up some IRQ's.
It seems to have worked.
Greg what I'm wanting to do is be able to print from Box1 to Box2 Attached
printer. I can acces the internet from either computer right now. I not
concerned with sharing an Internet connection at this time.I tried to setup
printin from box1 but it failed. I don't remember now, but It said something
about servername?
I also could use some advice on how to mount each computer where I can share
files between the two computers. I'm not very clear on this.
I would also like "later" to learn how to setup samba to go from linux to
windows, but for now I want linux to linux. I hope this clarifies what I,m
trying ---Sorry---
Earlier this summer I read some of the howto's but got confused . I going
to try this again.
Bob
