<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Whoops, looks like the first part of my question
got lost somewhere! Anyway I'm trying to connect a laptop running Windows
XP to a computer running SuSE 9.2 (with a broken X-server so command-line only),
just one direct cable, nothing fancy. I assume I need to set-up and
configure a Samba server to get the two to communicate however the on-line
manual is huge and I don't think I need to know it all. Also all the books
I bought/stole are fairly old and don't mention connecting to Windows XP so I'm
not sure how useful they are. Does anyone know of a newbie-friendly how-to
on setting up a simple two-computer network to get my laptop and desktop
sharing files?</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
