Hi,
Even though I have been using Linux since RH4.1, I have only used my computer as a stand alone machine. Now, my wife has bought a new computer to run M$ ( which I will configure as a dual boot M$ win98 and RH7.2 ). The main computer, only runs Linux (RH6.2). What do I need to connect these computers? I know I will need a second network card on my computer and a network card on my wife computer. Do I need a hub, or can I just run a connection from wife network card to my computer network card? I am right to think that a hub would be necessary for a larger local network (eg connecting more than two computers together )? If I need a hub, the hub is independent of the OS, it is a box outside the computers which serves to connect the machines together. More clearly, are their issues of compatibility that I do not see? I have started reading the IP-masquerading HOWTO. Which other source of information should I read? Not that do not want to learn, but I am time constrained, I want the reading to be the most efficient possible. Thanks for any input! A real novice. Cheers. -- Dominic Mitchell _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
