OK folks,
Let me preface this with I am a newbi in the Linux world, and I need help.
Firs post and first question. I have three boxes on a LAN, 2 desktops and one laptop. Main desktop is a WinXP SP2 box with SLED 10 running on VM Ware connected to the Internet through a Linksys wireless adapter communicating with a wireless router. The second box is networked to the first and is running Open Suse 10.1 (remastered). The same with the Laptop.
I have SMB shares on the second box and can access the share from the Winxp box. When I try to look at the local network from the Linux box, I get a message that I don't have the *Lisa deamon* installed and can not access the network.
I have tried to find information on the Lisa deamon, but have failed.
What is it? and how do I install it?
TIA
Regards, Bill..
Networking between Windows machines and Linux has been a hassle for me forever. I will be honest: I don't even know how to network between two Windows machines, or for that matter, between two Linux machines. I would love to network my 9.3 Linux machine to my XP machine. It would simplify my life. Then maybe I could go thru the XP machine to my printer, or transfer files from one machine to the other, or send sound from the Linux machine thru the XP machine to the stereo system, and all sorts of things that would help. If someone would write a small booklet telling me how to do this-- not only on the Linux side, but on the XP side--and sell it on the net for $5.00 or so, I would buy it instantly. It would have to be written in plain English that anyone off the street could understand. I've only been using computers for about 40 years, but I really have trouble with a lot of the terminology. (I have been using computers to _compute_, not to configure. And, lately of course, to use the lists and email, and word-process.) Ferinstance: apparently you need something called Samba to network. I don't know what this program is or does, etc. etc. etc. Well, I suppose that nobody will. Everybody seems to understand this stuff but me.
