[Gllug] linux home network/fileshare with router

[Will Napier]

Hi, aplologies for the basic nature of the question ('he's new'). I have 
read on this but am still unclear:

I have linux (mandrake 9.1) on one pc, and a linksys router. I have 
another pc with windows me on it (hopefully not for long). Both pcs are 
successfully and simultaneously accessing the internet via the adsl 
ethernet modem (having gone through router).

How do I setup filesharing? I would like to access files on pc 2 (the 
windows one) on pc 1 (linux). If possible I would like to be able to use 
the printer conncected to pc 1 from pc 2. Also I would like to watch 
dvds played on either machine on the other's monitor.

Will NFS do all this? or do I need Samba? And is there a really simple 
way I can get this up and running given my newbie status?

I think I have done what I need to in windows me on pc 2, setting up a 
network and clicking permission to share files etc. It is getting to 
'see' either pc from the other and do the above that I'm after.

Thanks, Will
