Hi all, Shortly I will be adding a second computer to my home office and I would like to get a jump start on the documentation for networking the two. My current machine dual boots Linux/Win95. The new machine will probably stay all Win95. I have a dial-up PPP connection currently on the Linux box that uses straight pap/chat to connect.
I would like to network the two so that the new Win95 machine uses the Linux box as a gateway to the internet and as a server. I will probably try to use PLIP as the protocol between the two as the Win95 machine will not have a printer attached to it and I have a spare parallel card I can drop in the Linux box which already has a printer attached to it. So what documents do you all recommend. I would like to leave the printer on the Linux box. So far I think I should read. Diald mini howto IP Masquerade mini howto Net-3 howto I know I will need to build a new kernel and install samba and diald but what else? Will samba handle the printer so that the printer can be used by the Win95 machine as a native printer and all it's native drivers(It is a hp deskjet 660C)? The linux box is up most of the time and the Win95 box will be up sporadically Thanks for any input.
