Yes, I am back again. I now have Slackware 8.0 with the 2.4 kernel. Is there anyway to connect a Win98SE box and a Linux box thru a serial cable (no smart-a$$ remarks, you know who you are). I tried using Direct Cable Connection in Windows and tried everything from directly running pppd to a KDE dialer, and the connection was established, but it was dropped shortly afterwards. Any help?
BTW: Yes, I know it's slow. It's only until I get a real network, in which I'll probably come back and ask how to set it up over an ethernet card.

Help may be nice, but figuring it out on your own is fun.

Hi..

Its is possible. U can enable PPP over serial. connect the PCs.


In PPP howto u can see the option to configure PPP over leased line. Using that try to estabilish the connectivity. and access the shares

First, thanks for the help. But now, I'm trying a parallel cable. Don't bother with help for that. Though get prepared by December, maybe later, because I'm finally getting a normal LAN. Ethernet cards and all.
