If by networking, you mean that you want to file share between the two, you can use smbclient on the DSL box to get to a windows share. It's already in DSL. Try:
The username and password are the ones that you set the shared folder up with. If you want to browse DSL folders from W**, you'll need to add the Samba extension. Both smbclient and samba are well documented on the internet. Good luck! Posted by Your Fuzzy God on Sep. 20 2005,14:39
If you have a HDD install you can use the step-by-step howto I made. I am still working on a frugal howto, but have been dead busy. Check it out:< http://www.mainframecomps.com/Images/dsltutorial/DSL-fileserver.pdf > If you have a frugal install, I can walk you through the same proceedure. |
