I should have mentioned that I have just set up a network - an old P I running Win 98 configured with the XP drive on my PIII machine to give an 80 yr old lady some email and browser access.
I intend to also try setting up a Linux network using Tulip when I get around to it. This could be used to access Xsane on the PIII server. I presume I would use 'net' and appropriate DNS settings. Any tips on config ? Adam. Oliver Rauch wrote: >Hello Adam, > >it looks like you want to use xsane-win32 to work with a scanner that >is locally connected to the windows machine.
