im really new to linux and its networking... i have 2 computers one with windoze xp and the other one is mandriva 2005, i have a router, set in dhcp but i set the linux box to my router to have a static ip, both can access internet...
now windoze xp firewall disabled, and on the linux ive installed samba... when i try to ping my windoze box using mandriva it has no problems... but when i ping the linux box using windoze no response...
i cant even see the linux box in the neighboorhood of xp...
already tried to install LinNeighborhood on mandriva and same problem i cant see the windows network either....
look honestly if you are a beginner why dont you try it first with a graphical firewall that would make your life a lot easier uninstall whatever firewall mandriva uses or disable it and download and install "firestarter", very simple to use very easy to use and then you can open the ports you need to unblock to do what you have got to do.
now everythings working... samba shares all, ping to and from my machines, folder shares print etc... ive just roam around the panels and made some configs then its done. just figure out by myself... woah! linux is the best but still problems with wine not running some M$ appz.... damn! why do they release their appz not supporting linux. cuz im in a internet cafe my only goal is to be able to run my cafe program in linux. but i failed... well anyone wanna suggest a good internet cafe program that runs on linux...
Well man ive got hte same thing here Ive got an internet cafe but only my PC is running Linux and the rest is WIn .... I got Easycafe up and running but it did not see the easycafe clients if you can make any software run then tell me about it man.
i think i found one... openkiosk, but you must buy their client for win. i think they distibute a source of the client for win... http://openkiosk.sourceforge.net/
I really never tried it ....... I mean I compile little progs that need no win32 funcionality and I guess you wont have any probs if you use JBuilder for java progs but I really dunno about c++ progs
