I have two PCs at home. Both PCs can run Windows or Linux.
When both PCs are Linux, I can telnet and mount each other.
When both PCs are windows, they can share each others drives.
The next step is to configure and run samba so that one
PC will be running Windows, the other Linux. This will be
the usual configuration, however, there will also be
times when I'll want to run Linux on both.
The question is, should I assign the same IP address to a machine
reguardless of what OS it is running, or should a machine have
one address for when it is running Linux, and another for
running Windows. Currently the machines are assigned the addresses:
192.168.1.1 Machine A
192.168.1.2 Machine B
Right now when I dial in to Telesys, the machine with the modem is
running Windows. In the future I'll probably also do that from Linux
although I haven't checked to see if it supports the IBM 56K modem
yet. For dialup internet access, I'm hoping the above addresses
are OK.
I have a hard copy of the Samba HOWTO via a Linux Encyclopedia.
Any additional caveats for a two machine network where each
machine might be running either OS?
