Hello all! I'm a Linux intermediate user and I need help networking two computers. One computer is a Gateway laptop, 5300 Solo running Suse Linux 9.0. Approx Pentium II. The second computer is new Dell Dimension 4800 desktop running Windows XP Home. Pentium 4. I have the correct type of network cable used to connect pier to pier without using hubs, etc. From what I can tell, Linux is talking DHCP and Windows is using TCP/IP or some Microsoft protocol. They won't connect. I really need to get them working properly so I can get all the valuable info off my laptop and onto the Windows computer, which has a CD burner. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!! THANK YOU!! (Also, many of the howto's haven't helped, that's why I've come here!) Take care! Nick “Take sides.
