Install samba on the linux machine if you want to share files using the
windoze 'network neighborhood'.
Plug them both into the router and the router to a DSL modem.

The people in this group are clearly not very bright. And rude to boot. I'm
unsubscribing.

and well just because it has changed name (windows network vs network
neighbourhood) doesn't make it any different. It's still
SMB/NetBIOS with some minor improvements (NTLMv2)

You can still run Samba on your Linux machine. Set up a shared area on
its /etc/smb.conf file and configure the Windows machine through the
"Map Network Drive" tab in the main networking window where you can
enter a user name and password.

That's as easy as 1, 2 and 3:Quote:> Does anyone know of THE definitive guide to networking a WinXP SP2 machine

1) Setup and enable DHCP Services and DNS Services on your xDSL router.
2) On Debian nachine, try one of the following:
dhclient eth0
or
pump eth0
If any of the above works, you need to make things permanent now --
append the following lines to your /etc/networking/interfaces file:
# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
Please see:
man 5 interfaces
for further details.
3) On WinXP SPx machine, goto Network Connections, right click on Local
Area Connection, select Properties->Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), click
again Properties and select Obtain an IP address automatically and
Obtain DNS server address automatically
Hope that helps,
Cheers,

1. Network fast Linux -> WinXP but slow WinXP -> Linux
Hi!
I have a really strange problem here that you people just might help me
solve. I have a LAN with two computers connected by a BNC cable. The
transfers from the Linux box to the Windows box is fast, but the other way
round is really slow - upload is about ~ 35 KB/sec. I have tried with smb,
ftp and scp and the results are the same. What can I do to fix this? It is
really annoying, moving a 650 MB ISO took me a whole night...
Thanks in advance!
