I assume that they all are as I can see them all in Win 2000, but just to be on the safe side, how do I check the IP addresses when they are assigned dynamically?
Brian,
From a Windows 2000 PC, go to Start | Run... | CMD This will bring up a command prompt.
Type ipconfig and hit enter. This will show you your ip address, subnet mask, and default gateway (the ip address of your linksys router)
From a Windows 98 PC, go to Start | Run... | and type 'COMMAND' (instead of 'CMD')
I agree with Tom ... you should probably assign your PC's static IP addresses ... I don't see a need for DHCP in such a small network.
I am also using a LinkSys router. You say that your Linux machines are also assigned workgroup "home". Where and how did you do this?
I believe you set this in Control Center | YaST 2 Modules | Network Basic | Hostname and DNS. Somebody please correct me if I am wrong!
OK, I tried uname -a and got "Linux thor" thor should be the name of the computer. I don't know what the Linux is doing in there.
That is a normal return when using the uname -a command. The -a means "all" and returns all info about the machine. FYI ... To get JUST the machine name you can type uname -n (n = name) --------------------------- Eric Carbone
