connecting Xp to Suse
i have 2 machines , xp and suse ,
can i set the machines in a way to run my suse from my xp?(read , execute programs) is it doable using a USB ? thanks |
Firstly - A word of caution -
Do not use a NORMAL USB cable to connect these two computers I repeat Do not use a NORMAL USB cable to connect these two computers --------------------------------------------------------------------- You can use a crossover cable - it works just well once you are done with that - just go in for some short steps with samba - It is real easy to configure samba - on eaither suse/fedora. |
thanks for ur reply !!!
i ll try to configure samba , but the thing i didnt get , is why a normal usb connection is not recommended? |
you can burn the USB ports of your computers or even their power supplies

Samba is a way to share files from the two OS' using the SMB protocol thingie.
If you want to execute programs on Suse remotely from Winxp i would look into ssh, which you can run via putty and have access to the CLI on your SUSE box. It can also be setup to allow x-forwarding, so you can open the suse program on windows xp. Or you can setup a vnc server/client. |
