Connecting 2 Linux machines
Hi!
After working with SuSE for half a year, I now decided to switch to Debian (sarge, so far). I am now trying out Debian on my pc and I still have SuSE installed on my notebook, until I am more familiar with Debian. The only experience with networking that I have, are related to connecting a linux computer to a windows pc via samba. Now, I want to connect my pc with my notebook, while both machines are running with linux (as mentioned above). I have a small home network set up with a router that is continually online. All computers are not running 24/7, but log on frequently. So how can connect pc and notebook, so that I can share files between them (right now, I don't even know how to see the other machine in the network). Thank you for any answers, ruh31 |
You can run samba on both machines, and use it as you did before with the linux <-> windows network.
But a nicer option might be to use NFS. Whit NFS you can export (parts of) your filesystem, and also limit access to specified machines/IP's I don't have any linux-computers by hand now, so I can't really help whit config-files right now. But you should look at the manpage for nfsd (the nfs server), and man exports (the config-file for the NFS-server, /etc/exports) |
Do you maybe know any tutorials for nfs? Without any knowledge about it, it is not too easy to set up.
Thanks for the idea with samba, I will try that out, too. |
just open google type NFS there is quite a lot of how 2s

Connecting two linux machines
Hi!
I am also new to linux. How did you manage to connect the two machines( One liux and another windows) I have Debian on one and Windows 98 on another. I have 8 pin ports on both the compuuters and I also have a connecting chord. What should I activate in Windows and what are the IP addresses, DNS server names and the like that I should use. I think some of the above can be arbitrary. Is it not so? Bye! |
