I use the NetGear RT311 router, which is essentially the same box sans the switch ports. It works just fine with my very heterogenious environment, which includes Win98, WinXP, W2K, SuSE Linux, and Sun Solaris 8/Sparc. The RT311 is my DHCP server, and seems to work OK in this regard. All my boxes can "see" each other, i.e., I can ping from one to another, or telnet from one to another. Can you ping the Win98 box from Linux? If so, then perhaps the problem is an SMB configuration issue? -ronc On Tuesday 26 June 2001 08:43, Sean Maloney wrote:
I have a dual boot linux box networked to a windows 98SE box. When I am booted to linux I am unable to access the windows box at all. Anybody familiar with this gateway router and how to get it to work with the DHCP protocol or do I have to set up linux as the server?
thanks Sean Maloney
