Hello sluggers,
Recently decided to connect a HP Laserjet 1100 to an
old Pentium 100 Rehat 6.2 box that I've got lying around.
For now I'd just like to get Linux to print to it,
then share it across the network with Samba.
I'm pretty familiar with Samba for file sharing,
but this is the first

I assume they are co-ordinates and are measured in either

Is there any way to change

heya guys,
I'm trying to set up a home network between my two machines (onw
windows, one linux) and my flatmate's windows box using the linux box
(with two network cards in it) as a routing hub. I have currently got
the linux box able to ping both windows machines (and them able to
ping it) by
Becuase they are on the same subnet, (192.168.0.0, I'm guessing your
netmask is 255.255.255.0), each windows computer doesn't think it should
have to go via the linux router (default gw) to get to the other, hence it
is failing.
If you eth0=192.168.0.1,
windows1=192.168.0.2 (or anything 255),
linux box (RedHat 7.2 (more or less stock install)):
eth0 = 192.168.0.1
eth1 = 192.168.0.3
There is no such thing as a routing hub, as far as I know. What I do know
is that two network cards on the same network is not a good start (unless
you are trunking them, which is different). The kernel
If they're on the same network, you need make
