How do I setup my network with my
win95 machine? I would like to
share files and printers. I have
ethernet cards in both computers.
I would like to have my linux machine
call the ISP, have the ISP assign
a "dynamic" IP address thru PPP modem hookup.
I have a standard modem. In theory,
my wife should be able to surf on the
win95 machine at the same time as I
surf the web on the linux box.
The linux machine will have 2 IP addresses,
one "dynamic" IP address from the ISP and
one "static" IP address that will
talk to the win95 machine. The static IP
on win95 and linux should have the same
first 3 numbers in the IP address, but
different in the 4th number in the IP address.
What files
should I modify and to give an IP
address to the linux and windows95 machine?
How do I set up a dynamic IP in linux?
This is my home network, so what IP address
should I use since I don't have one assigned
by a network administrator.
I'm looking for a step by step answer.
Thanks in advance,
Julian Fields
