quick mini network howto
How do I set up a network between my laptop and desktop? I have a
connection established and have assigned 192.168.1.2/255.255.255.0 to
the laptop and 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0 to the desktop. I have used
guarddog to add this interface to the iptables configuration and now can
successfully ping each other.
I want to be able to copy files from the client laptop to/from the host
desktop.
On my old system, I would have added my laptop address to /etc/exports
on the desktop, and use 'exportfs' to enable it, then run an 'nfsd'
daemon to restart the network on the desktop, then 'mount' the nfs on
the laptop.
Unfortunately, I'm not finding similar systems on Debian. Right now, I
don't even have /etc/exports or an 'exportfs' command, and 'apt-cache
search exportfs' comes up empty. Also, I don't see any 'nfsd' daemon in
/etc/init.d.
I'm sure Debian has an easy way to do this .. I'm just having difficulty
finding it.
TIA
Paul
