Hi folks,
Basic questions, I'm afraid, but I never was much good with wet string.
I'm in the process of setting up a home network like this:
Windows ME Red Hat 7.3
Network card: Network card:
IP: 192.168.1.1 --------------------------- IP: 192.168.1.2
Name: homer Name: lisa
Modem:
IP: DHCP assigned by ISP
How do I associate lisa's name with it's IP address? There is a file in Red Hat
where you add the entries but I can't fine a reference to the ME file that does
the job.
Right now, I ping lisa, 192.168.1.2, homer and 192.168.1.1 on lisa but only
192.168.1.2, homer and 192.168.1.1 on homer.
Also, and I may put this in its own thread, once I've got this going, how do I
telnet to lisa from homer? I've tried this using the IP address and get
'connection refused'. Security?
TIA
