How to install a network at home? I have got an Intel (p4 ht) box with FC4 on it, and a Dell p4 laptop with FC4 on it also. Both have got network cards. Now I want to make these communicate. 1. how and what will I need to install a simple network between the two? 2. Later on, I want to make the PC behave as a server and allow applications and updates present on this one to be available on the Laptop too. For example, I do YUM updates on the PC, I want these updates to be auto applied on the laptop when connected (is this feasible or manual intervention would always be required). Another example would be, I have the databases running on the PC that should be accessible on the laptop when connected on the home network. Appreciate all inputs and pointers. Thanks! amar
