Linux.

Any experianced Linux users here???

I'm trying to set up a network with Corel Linux SE and Win2k. If not file sharing.....at least printer sharing. (I also can't get the sound to work).

Can anyone help me.

<FONT face="tahmoa">Wish I could help you dude. I am afraid I am going the opposite way, and loaded Windows 2000 Advanced Server (120 day trial version). Keep us updated as to the development of your situation on the Linux load. I still want to get Linux working on my system, but since I am studying for my MCSE right now, I think I need to concentrate on Win2k

I think I can give you some help.

Run netconfig at the command line is one sure step.

Well, the "help" I can give is that there is absolutely positively an FAQ on every single subject related to linux. I'm sure that what you're looking for will either be covered in a HOWTO or a mini-HOWTO.

I exclusively used RedHat 7 Linux. It's a shame because it's too bugged. But sharing file and running ftp are quite easy to set up. Just use Linuxconfig.

well, i'm not sure SuSE uses linuxconfig.

SuSE has yast (or yast2 in later versions) which could be used to configure networks. I haven't used yast for years, but i can tell you the all the networking with Windows is done via Samba. As far as I can remember the mounting of shared Windows drives is done with smbmount command (consult "man smbmount" for details). Printer sharing must be configured through yast (printers->network printer) then it is assigned a name and could be used as local printer with lpr. I don't know how good Samba is with Win2k file system, but it works perfectly with Win9*.
