Bring linux up on a manually configured address: "ifconfig eth0 down; ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 up" On the windows machine under Settings -> Control Panel -> Networking ... set your ethernet card to a manual address of 192.168.0.2 Now if you're using a cross-over cable they should be able to see each other by using the ip addresses (192.168.0.1 for the linux machine, 192.168.0.2 for the windows). -Steve _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?
