Generally I use LAN (both PCs connected to a router), but I have a problem with the LAN cable (I have to buy a new one) and while I do that I need internet on my linux box.
Any tips on how can use PPP? Thanks for your assistance..

Of course you can connect 2 computers via a serial cable using ppp, but, in this instance, why? With such a small distance between the 2 computers, use network cards, ethernet, and a 5-port hub. You'll get _much_ faster speed also. After you get some experience with Linux, you will want to move the internet connection to your linux box, and have it serve the WinXP box. -- +---------------------------------------------------------+ | Ron Johnson, Jr. Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Jefferson, LA USA http://ronandheather.dhs.org:81 | | | | "I have created a government of whirled peas..." | | Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, 12-May-2002, | !
