Hmmm....okay, the IP from the dsl connex is dynamic. I have both machines conected to an iPaq switch, sharing the DSL, but seemingly unaware of each other. I wan to leave the printer onthe Linux box and have access to that and files on the same from the iBook. I don;t know a darned thing about determining the IP on a LAN. The DSL modem is going into the switch, then to both machines...Should I send the DSL into teh linux box first, then into the switch in order to make the 'nix box a server on the lan, then assign IP addresses? How do I not assign IPs that are already in use onthe internet? Wouldn;t that confuse things? Really, I am clueless...must be annoying... I definitely want the Linux box for the server, since the iBook is mobile and goes elsewhere with me. > >If DSL goes directly into the linux server, you should firewall off the >ports used by NFS/SMB unless you *really* need to access them over the >network.
