Guest iNferno31 Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Hello, As you can see, i'm new to this forum, and it's probably no surprise that i'm also new to linux and mandrake. I am trying to set up a LAN with my 4 mandrake computers. All of the computers are connected to a hub that shares the DSL connection and all of the computers can connect to the Internet. I used DHCP to determine the IP address' for all of the computers. 1) How can I share files between the computers? Do I just have to type the ip address in konqueror, if so, how can i find out the ip addresses of all the computers? 2) To play a multiplayer game, what do I need to do? Just find the ip address and make one computer the game server like usual? I've enabled SMB and NMB(?) on all the computers, but I don't know how to use them or what they are really supposed to do :unsure: Even though I have found a lot of information about linux networks, i am still unsure how to set one up myself since linux is new to me in every aspect. Any help is appreciated, -Erno, Finland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 (edited) SMB is normally there for Windows based sharing. What's probably the best, is to install openssh-server, and then from konqueror, you just type: sftp://machinename This will drop you in a /home/username directory, and then you can navigate from there dropping files, based on the security access each user has. If you're using the same username on all machines, then that's OK. Otherwise, you'll need to create additional ones as required.
