Network with Linux and Win PCS

[deepsix]

Are there basic issues that need to be addressed when having a network with Win and Linux PCs connected? I.E. file sharing, TCP/IP etc..

I may have a network soon that will contain both types and although there won't be much communication from 1 station to another, was just curious as to what I need to watch out for..

There are no issues between them. TCP/IP isn't OS dependent.

Nope.

Walay issues between Linux and Windows network.

To be able to talk to each other on non-routed LAN, they must be on the network sub-net. Take note on your IP address settings and netmask. Read this to understand better: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subnetwork

You can use Samba in your Linux to be able to share files to Windows....

How about seeing seeing shared folders in a Linux Machine by using a windows machine? Is that possible

i.e. Windows XP machine browsing through shared folders of an Ubuntu machine.

Yes very possible to see your windows share with linux.
Many ways:
-In console/command-line you could use smbclient.
-You could mount as a filesystem (acts like a drive) using smbfs and an entry to your /etc/fstab.
-If using GUI, open konqueror, then at address bar type: smb://pcname/shared_folder . Replace "pcname" is the windows pc name or ip address while "shared_folder" is the shared folder's name.

Very funny bitaw....

Kun intimidated ka sa Command Line, sayon ra gihapon sa GUI. Unfortunately, kinahanglan jud ka mogamit sa Command Line inig set/add nimo ug Password sa imong Linux box. Pero sayon ra gihapon. Pwede gihapon nimo i-share imong internet connection sa imong Linux box sa ubang pc sa imong network.
