Home Network w. 2 WinXT and 1 SuseLinux

I am a Linux newbie and am certainly asking silly questions, but still
hope someone helps me....

I have a home network (2 Win XT connected to a router & cable modem.
One Printer is connected to 1 PC and is shared. everything works OK.
Now I connected a new Linux machine to the router and connects to the
internet perfectly. What I can not succede is to see/access the Linus
PC on the MSWindow Network and viceversa, but I would like to share the
PC and some specific folders or/and drives also between the Win and the
LinuxPC.
I am certainly need to do some gimmicks on the Linux PC, but what?

By the way, I do not want to setup any server or proxy or the like...,
just.
Anyone have some advise?

Hi, Kraadde,

that won´t be possible. you could use an ssh-client to transfer / copy
files between the machines, but AFAIK do you need a ssh-server then on
one machine.

on the other hand, to set up a samba-server on the linux-box is not
that difficult.


if you can read german pages ;-), you could visit this:
