I'm a newbie when it comes to LINUX networking. Bu I'm trying really hard to learn. I'm not a newbie when it comes to computers, having loads of experience with OS/2 and DOS, but that lies many years back. I have *no* experience with LANS, and only an ordinary user's experience with LINUX. My topology: An ADSL router connected to a switch connected to my LINUX COMPUTER and my wife's Windows ME computer, and occasionally my laptop running Win XP Pro (necessary because of my work). All I want to do is have my wife's computer share files. I've been reading the "Red Hat Fedora Linux 3 Bible" and Googling the Internet for some kind of step-by-step user guide to setting things up, but to no avail. I've managed to have my wife's computer see mine, as "localhost", but I can't get any further. I'm totally lost. I have lots of shares on my wife's computer, with which I have no problems seeing when I connect my laptop running Win XP Pro. I've been lurking her since my son, who services an international Linux network for a large oil company, which shall remain nameless, gave me a computer running Linux as a birthday gift. I'd ask him for help, but he lives 30 km. away, and has just moved, and is busy unpacking. I was hooked on Fedora, just as I'm hooked as OS/2, which I'll try to network as soon as I get this basic stuff working. Anyway, can anyone help me with a 1-2-3 user guide? Or a reference to one. I'm stumbling around here with IP adresses, DHCP and all that. I'm reading a lot, and understanding less. Thanks in advance for any help
