Ethernet connection to Windows98
Hello Debian-mentors, I do not expect to get recipe here regarding Debian and networking. I just need to know where to start reading, and maybe where to look for information regarding this. I have a NE2000 compatible Ethernet card installed and detected by my kernel. What I want to do is to connect to a Windows98 machine using this card. Where do I start? For instance: Regarding the kernel, is the fact that the card is detected enough, or should I have added support for some protocols in the kernel, or can I add the protocols later? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. TIA //Christian [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bigfoot.com/~cdysthe If everything is coming your way, you are probably in the wrong lane

Hello Debian-mentors, I've moved this post to debian-users. The debian-mentors list is for people who need help creating debian packages; -users is for questions about how to get the system working, etc. ... I have a NE2000 compatible Ethernet card installed and detected by my kernel. What I want to do is to connect to a Windows98 machine using this card. Did you use the debian install programs to set this up? Where do I start? For instance: Regarding the kernel, is the fact that the card is detected enough, or should I have added support for some protocols in the kernel, or can I add the protocols later? You'll need protocol support in the kernel. What are you trying to do -- Windows Networking, telnet, or what?

Christian, You'll want to read up on Samba as it will allow you to connect a Linux machine to a Win98 machine. You should probably enable TCP/IP (if it isn't already) and assign an IP address to both of your PCs. I use the same type of Ethernet card and I'm able to browse the Network Neighborhood on my Win machine and see my Linux shared directories. Start with Samba docs, though, and good luck!
