I want to inter-network a PC running WinXP and another running FC2 ?

I am googling for information but till now have not had much luck
Can anyone tell me that from where to start ?

Thanks

this package comes with FC2

try looking for configuring samba
if u have samba installed u will get those files in

/etc/samba

few things to look for in addition to the base samba.

1 smbfs
2.smbmount
3. sambamnt

the smbfs is something you can install via up2date or YUM or apt-get, IIRC smbmount and sambamnt are commands (i think i am calling them the corret term) for mounting a windows share to a linux box. i have found it much simpler to mount a windows share then to mount a linux share.

Thanks, I have read a bit about samba and have interconnected the two PC's through a cross cable connection
but in the network configuration the ethernet cards is comig as disabled and when I try to activate it I get the message

"CDCEther device eth1 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization. " ?

on eh0 I have a usb cable modem working
