Hello Alvin,
Yes I do need help but at this point I'm not sure what my needs are. For
now I simply need/want to get my windows pc to communicate with my linux
pc, preferably via tcp/ip to simulate an internet connection so i can run
perl scripts on linux and see how they respond to my windows browsers which
is on my pc I want networked to linux. My linux machine will not be
accessed via the internet, the two pcs will be directly connected together
for now.
If I need dns for that then I need to know what steps to take next. If I
don't need dns for that then great!
After September/October I intend to connect this very same linux machine to
the internet if all goes well. I will then give away free web space and ftp
space to a targeted group of surfers. I know I will need dns at that time
to handle the virtual hosts and all that... so eventually I will have to
setup dns, but not now. My linux machine and modem are too slow right now
for internet access and won't be upgraded until mid-september. I still
want to test it while networked to my windows system.
Thanks
Andre
