anyone know of a method of networking redhat 9 (on a spacewalker server) to MS XP pro via a usb cable? I have usb bridge installed on xp and a laplink type usb cable and this does the stuff windows to windows. they don't need to both see each other, just so long as I have communication one way.
Wouldn't a USB->LAN connection be a whole lot easier? All your software is designed to understand ethernet, using a direct connection will limit you to only one piece of software. http://www.maplin.co.uk/Products/Module.asp?CartID=04033009195790&ModuleNo=34814&MR=N If neither machine already has a network card (NIC), you could use two of these and a crossover cable. You will inevitably find that the 'major' reason for connecting these two machines at the moment is only the tip of the iceberg and once you have connectivity, you'll want to do more and more over the link - it's human nature. Best to make the link robust, fast and versatile at the start and use the benefits of universal support. You haven't said which distro you use so I can't tell if this particular device is supported (not that I expect problems, it should be fine) but that also depends on whether the Linux box already has a working NIC. - -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.codehelp.co.uk/ http://www.dclug.org.uk/ http://www.isbn.org.uk/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/isbnsearch/ http://www.biglumber.com/x/web?qs=0x8801094A28BCB3E3 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAaTBAiAEJSii8s+MRAlbeAKC6eFQWeMnUEnNnnzzQQP8ccu0JSQCgxMgb DPOds/QOW2lee+8ooSoaLe4= =mTL3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
