linux networking (with ms windows)from scratch
I have a small home network using windows xp connected with ethernet crossover cable. The windows file sharing works fine. Recently I installed linux 7.1 to one of these computers. I want to make this linux pc as a webserver using apache and php. I installed lunux 7.1 server without any problem and configured ip using ifconfig. The problem now is I do not see linux pc in windows xp's my network places or anywhere else. I can ping successfully from either side. I do not know how can I do the followings:
1. Test xp and linux connection
2. Share files
3. Access apache webserver from xp pc
Please note that the only thing I can see them connected is ping. Please advise me.
