I just spent the past hour trying to get it to work with sshfs, but too many errors to get very far. In my dim understanding of these things, if I plug the laptop and the desktop into the network with ethernet cables, the Free Geek router will give each an IP address, which I can discover with ifconfig, and then I can try to make things work. When some part of the instructions fail I'll have help at hand. The part I don't understand is, assuming I'm finally successful, what happens when I get home where my own router will give them different IP addresses based on their Mac addresses? _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
