more info added : I run windows 98 on a Compaq Presario and RH8 on my HP Vectra vl). I connect to the internet via verizon dsl, through a Netgear router. Both the win98 machine and the RH8 machine get IP addresses through that router.
I recently had my win98 machine rebuilt due to errors with it and noticed it had a different IP address from before. Do I need to change any host files? If so, what are they? On the win98 machine, the only things I did was under network neighborhood, properties, added allow file and printer sharing for microsoft networks to network components installed. The other was to put a share on the printer used with share being the printer name with NO password. Do I need to do anything else? Any help is greatly appreciated. ----- Original Message ----- From: John Salamone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2003 8:54 PM Subject: Re: linux firewall > Sorry about forgetting my configuration.
