I use a router which costs a little over 100 dollars. We use a dLink7-13 ( I think that is the model number ), and my wife uses a laptop and I have my PC hooked up. On that other operating system; This is where "network neighborhood" on the desktop comes in. You go into network neighborhood and you can access the entire computer, and vice versa, unless you go into "my computer" and under "file" while on a drive or folder, you uncheck "shared". I am sure that dLink works in Linux. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lorenzo Prince" <lorenzo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Sunday, April 06, 2003 1:41 PM Subject: networking PC and laptop Hi all. I am trying to network my PC and my laptop. I have two ethernet cards in my PC and one in my laptop, as the PC needs to connect both the internet and the laptop. I need to share files between the two computers, and if possible, connect both computers to the internet using one connection. I know a little about nfs, but I'm not sure whether or not this is what I need. I also need to know how I should setup my eth1 on my PC and eth0 on my laptop so that they can connect properly. Thanks, Lorenzo E Pluribus Unix _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
