[H-GEN] Making my Linux to windows LAN work.

[Russell Mathews]

Hi General Humbug,

 

I intend to put a test website up under var/www/html/ and see if I can 
run it from Linux then from my other HP Windows box.   [The windows box 
(and my D-link wireless modem/router) is supplied by my PhD 
University.]  I had a Canon flatbed scanner but could not make it work 
under Linux.  It works under Windows so I am tending to use my Windows 
box.  

 

Once I have the website working from here under var/www/html/, I will 
consider setting my router, so the website can be accessed from the web.

 

I want to make my LAN work.  I have not been able, despite my trials, to 
make my LAN work.  I think I need Samba on Linux.  I believe I have 
Samba installed under Linux.

 

I am thinking I could load up my website under /var/www/html using 
Mozilla, but I would have to be able to have my browser on Windows box 
see my /html/ directory under FC4.

 

My Linux box is dual boot, but I have not even been able to make the LAN 
work windows to windows.   I feel I have to take small steps to progress 
my ambition.  I hope I can receive some assistance.  I want to learn a 
lot. Thanks.
