Networking :: Networking challenge



I have 3 pc stations

1) MS XP
2) PC-BSD
3) DSL

All connected to a router.

How do I establish networking from 3 to 162.

First of all how to copy files from 1 and 2 to 3.

Appreciate if someone could help.

Thanks
First find the ip addresses of all three boxes (ifconfig in linux and ipconfig in a cmd window in windows) and then try to ping the other two pcs from all three. If that works then your networking is ok. You can use ssh to transfer files, start the sshd daemon on the linux boxes and then use http://winscp.net/eng/index.php on your windows box. Other alternatives are samba or ftp.
