I recently networked my laptop and desktop together and after juggling some
adapters around, got them up and running. In O'Reilley's "Running Linux",
they said that you could set-up a NFS file sharing system, without having to
set up a NFS file server. I just have a simple network with the two machines
and once I figure out how to network my wifes Windoze box in, will have three
total. I'm not using any of the machines for a gateway.
I've downloaded a NFS tutorial, but that relates to setting up a NFS file
server and a client. I just want to be able to share files on my two
machines, and not have to worry about setting up a flie server. Can anyone
suggest a goos tutorial on this? I know that O'Reilly has a NFS and NIS book
on the subject, but I've spent several hundred in books so far and was hoping
to find a free alternative.
Thanks,
Michael
