I installed a Linksys 10/100 PCI card last night, ran YaST to install the driver. I did an "ifconfig eth0" and got the following response: (this is subject to typhos, since I am on my first install and the box is as yet standalone, so I'm typing it in)
Link encap:10Mbps Ethernet HWaddr 00:20:78:14:63:4C inet addr:0.0.0.0 Bcast:0.0.0.0 Mask 0.0.0.0 BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 METRIC:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 Interrupt:9 Base address:0x6400
Pardon my ignorance, but does this constitute success? Am I ready to start reading the Samba docs and hook up my Windows boxes to it (I hope)?

Dear Tim, Remember to have the same IP address for your Linux and Windows boxes. example Linux 192.168.1.1 Windows 192.168.1.2 This way they will be on the same domain and will be able to talk to each other with no problems. In fact I have Win95 and WFWGroups3.11(had to add IP/TCP) all talking to the Linux box. Also try installing the Apache server stright out of the box, fire up your favorite web browser under windows and direct it at the Linux box. You might also try installing FTP, and then use your Win browser to FTP files from your Linux Box. I know this was not what you asked about, but I was eager to share my fun with soemone.
