Wow, this expert list never ceases to amaze me. Ajax, find some documentation on how to install a Linux server that will be a gateway/router for your own private LAN. This server will be your access to the Internet, mail pop pickup, etc. for any of the machines you have behind this server (your LAN). You can also load Samba on this gateway/router server if you want to maintain netbeui on the LAN for some RPC stuff, printing, etc.
There is a lot of good documentation for this kind of a thing (you know, like using a search engine). You will even find some good info on the Mandrake site. You need to start this journey, and as particular issues arise, this list should be of some value. Good luck, j. c. woods UNIX SA At 06:03 PM 12/8/2001 -0800, ajax wrote: >I was wondering what is the best way to set up a network. >I currently have two computers both dual booting between win98 and linux >although I am using win98 less and less. mostly for games and quicken.
