What changes will I need to make?
Incidently, do you know what kind of performance hit I will get running
X over 20m of BNC cable (there are 2 other (Win'95) machines on the
network)?
BTW, I wasthinking about the IP addresses and would it make sense for me
to use 192.168.xxx.1 and 192.168.xxx.2 (xxx=random number) in case I
added someone elses Linux system to my network for some reason in the
future?
I am also confused about how each computer knows the others IP address.
Does it just broadcast it over the whole network and anyone who wants it
grabs it?
Thanks
Ian
