Evening All,
I'm going a bit round in circles (again!), this time it's LAN networking
which is causing my discomfort...
I've got a desktop & a laptop, both running Fed 11 & KDE (both installed
from the 11-KDE live CD), the LT since just after the release, the DT
since the weekend. There is also my wife's XP machine. All 3 are
connected by cable to a D-Link 524, which in turn is cable-connected to
the ISP's Scientific Atlanta router. All 3 machines connect without
problem to the outside world, BUT I don't seem to be able to get any joy
out of trying to swap files between them.
I tried Samba and SMB4K but neither Fedora machine is able to see
anything in its Network neighbourhood. (Left the XP machine out of the
equation for now!)
So then I tried Krfb, but although I set up an invitation on either or
both machine, I don't (seem to) get any reaction from the other.....
My guess is, I've misunderstood some of the descriptions in the various
manuals; and/or failed to activate "something" to make signals go up one
wire & down the other. As far as I'm aware, I set Selinux on both
machines to Permissive (to stop the string of failure messages while
trying to get everything installed & updated), & I don't think I have
any other sort of firewall running... (Last year while still on XP, the
same machines with the same Nic cards & same routers were able to
communicate quite happily, and would still recognise the IP address of
the DT when I converted it to F9).
Does anyone have any suggestions how to proceed??
As ever, enormous thanks to all for any help!!!
Greetings from Austria
Dave
