Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] ZIP in DOS

Hi,

On the Windoze machine set up a TCP/IP connection in Networking to give that
machine an IP number of 192.168.1.1 and netmask of 255.255.255.0 also give
the machine a name under DNS (mine is called 'Gold' and the domain name is
set to 'metals.com' hence, in my network, this machine becomes
gold.metal.com) set up 'Client for Microsoft Network' and make sure that
TCI/IP has the 'bindings' box ticked for this - similarly for 'file and
printer sharing' - oh! and check that the network card and its TCP/IP are
tied together. You can also set this machine's IP number in the 'gateways'
box.
On the linux box, go into Network Configuration which you should easily find
in your desktop menus or you can just type netconf and, under 'basic host
information - Adaptor 1' you can enter similar info to what you put on the
windoze box - a primary name and domain ( brass.metals.com on one of my
boxes - note the domain is the same but the first bit, the machine name is
different), the alias (brass - the short name you want to use to refer to
each machine) an IP address 192.168.1.2 (note: just a different last
number), netmask 255.255.255.0, net device 'eth0' (choose from list), kernel
module (depends on the network card you are using and, if the network card
wasn't in the machine when you first installed linux, you will need to
rebuild the kernel to include support for it). In DNS, set 'search domain 1
(opt)' to 'localdomain' and 'search domain 2 (opt)' to whatever the Windoze
machine's workgroup name is (WORKGROUP in my case). Under 'Misc' -
Information about other hosts' enter the IP number and name of the windoze
machine (192.168.1.1 gold.metals.com gold) and that's about it. You need
to enable file sharing on both machines (easy way on Win machine - go to
disk drive properties in file explorer and enable sharing and, on linux
machine set permissions to group on partitions, folders or individual files.
To access windoze machine from Linux one you will also have to set up SAMBA
(look at the HOWTO) and, while you're at it also look at the Net3 HOWTO and
the NETWORKING one as well. Sorry this is a bit more than 10 lines but it's
as short as it can get - first stage is to get the network cards working and
TCP/IP set up so you can 'ping' each machine from the other, then you are
close to being able to transfer files from one machine to the other easily -
setting up firewalls and internet connections will have to come later! HTH.
