98/xp/fc3


I am trying to network three machines. Linux m/c is the server, XP desktop and 98 laptop.
Linux and XP see each other, Xp and 98 see each other, but cannot get linux server and 98 laptop to see each other. I am simply cabling (crossover) the machines in the sequence as stated. Do I neeed a hub?.
Can someone kindly explain how I might be able to setup all 3 and access the internet (cable modem) from the laptop.
Many thanks.

I am no expert at this, but I have a similar setup to yours. However, I use a router/modem (one unit DSL G604T) to access the internet as it acts as a firewall and can attach 4 computers via cable and 2 via wireless..

Basically, the internet cable comes in to the router first. From there it is simple straight through cables from the router/modem leading to two other computers, and a wireless access for my wife's laptop. This router uses a linux kernel as well. Worth the research for simplicity sake and security.
