Question Linux & MS Win98 coexisting on a LAN


I have just installed Caldera 2.3 Open Linux on a AMD 350 system and I have tried connecting it to my existing Windows98 "peer to peer" network. There of course is no DOMAIN name. How do I get it to work. All else is working fine. When I installed, the network part of this I used a DHCP configuration for my existing network is tied to a LinkSys Router to a DSL modem and the router is set up to use DHCP and its addressing scheme is 192.168.1.1 and the modem is 192.168.1.0 and finally the other workstations have been auto TCP/IPed with 192.168.1.100 through 104. What do I have to do to get the Linux system to share the Microsoft - Linksys Router network ... any clues?

If you are talking about Microsoft Networking then you need to use Samba, it is the MS network for linux.

for the dsl if you connect it to a dhcp router then set the interface up for dhcp,


try this...

dhcpcd eth0

see what happens

test it with ifconfig

I'm new to networking and I'm reading all about subnetting and assingning nework addresses.. Isn't 192.168.1.0 an invalid address for the modem? That's the networking address right? I'm a newbie, so I'd apreciate an explanation of this quite a bit.

Thanks

192 A CLASS is reserved for LANS, so for sure it's not a valid modem IP address and 192.168.1.0 is invalid as well as 192.168.1.255, they are used for addressing.

you can specify any IP wich begins with 192 but doesn't end with 0 or 255 for Local Are Networks, for modem or WAN you have to get a global IP address (publushed) from your ISP. for example on DSL you will be provided by one dynamicly (variable, changes each time).
