I'm trying to move my whole family to linux and the best way I can do that is to make all the same resources (internet, decent games for kids, e-mail, etc) available on a linux machine so they can start using it. I've now gotten Red Hat reinstalled (couldn't get X to work with 8) and have the network card setup (correctly I think) to be in a position to see the rest of the network. Linux (.2) is connected to a hub. Also connected to the hub is a Win98 pc (.51). Win98 machine also has usb wireless adapter (.50) talking to Wireless access point (.1) There are other machines involved, but the key thing I'm shooting for is internet access from linux (.2) which can only be done through the Win98 pc right now. I also want to be able to login to the linux machine from other pc's on the network using telnet sessions. I think I have everything I need to get these done, but am getting stuck at one detail which I hope the list will forgive the questions - When I connect the USB Wireless Access Point (.50) on the Win98 machine, winipcfg doesn't "see" the physical NIC (.51)? Any tips? Feel free to take the tips offline if this will start a holy war.
