Thank you, one or two more questions...
I understood you perfectly. However a crossover cable is not something I am sure I care to introduce to my environment.
These two RH9 machines are on a small network. There are a total of 8 machines on this network. Running the netconfig command from a command prompt takes me to network configuration. I am confused.... These two machines are already on the network. Samba is configured and running as both of these machines provide basic file storage, and web services for my network. Is it neccessary to run the netconfig command given that they are on the network? I guess my question is... Is the netconfig command and its function seperate from X windows network configuration module.
My network is configured like so.

What I am particuarly interested in doing while at work, is I want to be able to telnet to my box, (which I can do successfully.) I want to be able to change directory on that box to a directory that connects to a shared resource on the opposite box.
i.e. (like a Network drive on two windows boxes.) Not sure how this is done from a command prompt. I trust I was clear enough, if not, please let me know. I am terribly curious to discover how this works!
Thanks again in advance.
