Sorry for posting so many times here but I am getting closer to the solution, I think.
I was able to connect two windows XPs but now Im trying to connect to XP from xubuntu and it doesnt quite work.
I have followed the instructions from
here under section "3. On the client side" and did the prepartions for connecting to windows under "3.2. Connecting to an MS Windows server" but when I try to connect this is what the terminal shows (after typing "pppd /dev/ttyS1 nodetach"):
Code:
Serial connection established
Using interface ppp0
Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS1
LCP: timeout sending Config-Request
Connection terminated
Sorry if there are any typos in there because I had to type it in here. But I am pretty sure that ttyS1 (note 1) is the correct one to use (COM 2), because that's what I had to use in windows as well.
Still something is wrong, I get no other indication on the windows server side except small disk usage when the connect attemp is made.
Any ideas? Thanks for your time!
