Wonderful information from Adam Williams and Brian J Smith regarding the
Qualified Host Name question(s). My hats off to you both!! :o)
There was a little bit of confusion, on my part, inquiring about what my
Linux OS 'sees' when it's running. My hard drive is partitioned to C,
D, E, F, and G drives. G is the Windows ME partition, where as the
others were native from a long time ago. When my Linux Mandrake is
running, if I got into Konqueror (super user) or others, and start
klicking the directory structrues (ie ARROWS) and get to MNT, I see a
list of my drives C, D, E, F, and G along with other things like the CD
roms, and Floppy. I can litteraly go into each drive and in the case of
my "D" drive, there I have set up a "Shared Download" folder, that
within it is also a folder called "LINUX" . I can move files from off
the internet into that folder while running Windows, and/or Linux (
though I don't, as they download to /home/frost/<filename>. I can also
copy files from a floppy or CD or another part of the whole system into
and out of that folder (including ANY folder) with no problems.
Since our family is networked, my wife and daughters computrs are
conncted to the switching hub and we can ping and see each other all the
time (when computer are on). However, like I was saying above, I have
the static address of 192.168.0.1 with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and
a gateway of 192.168.0.5 (our internet "router" web-beetle/modem), and
my wife is all the same except 192.168.0.2, and Sammy is 192.168.0.3
all else being the same. Windows won't recognize the Linux system when
I have it loaded as the running OS on my machine, but I can see my
"local" partitioned drives. But, I don't know how to see my wife or
daughters computers, from Linux, while they are "ON". All computers run
Windows XP with the exception of mine, which boots into whatever at the
moment. *S*
Intersting thing.... if I look at Pam's "my computer" displayed on the
desktop of her computer, it now shows the shared folders on my computer
as "Samaba client.." never noticed that before.
When I set up the Qualified Host Name, is it a good idea to list my
e-mail address as part of is.. eg. jenefarm ?? jenefarm@i2k.com is the
complete.
You guys are a great group, and VERY intelligent into the working of
networking! and THANK you so much... (printed and archived the e-mail
threads).
Cheers!
