1- subnet-
Yep.... they're all on the same subnet
2- ping-
mint to ubuntu- success!
mint to XP- success
XP to mint- success!
XP to Ubuntu- Success!
Ubuntu to Mint- Success!
Ubuntu to XP- Success!
Layer 3 is intact.
3- telnet
mint to ubuntu- success!
mint to XP- success
XP to mint- success!
XP to Ubuntu- Success!
Ubuntu to Mint- Success!
Ubuntu to XP- Success!
Layer is intact. I couldn't figure out how to use telnet but it didn't
error out so I figure it is all good.
4a- "start->run-> type "\\192.168.0.x\" and see if you can see shares.
They are seen.
4b- mount -t cifs -o defaults,username=myuser //192.168.0.x/share_name
/tmp/cifs
the XP directory is mounts and lista in the ubuntu and mint computers but
when I go from the mint to ubuntu it refuses to accept my passwd. You
know.... I have no idea what the password is! I've never been able to
access the share. I suppose I could set it for Guest access but I don't
like that idea because what if I'm at starbucks and so,eome there hacks
into..... what would they have to do to get into my box before they see the
folders which allow guest access? I suppose it would be better to find out
why it won't accept my password!
Anyways: ip addr show is how I picked up the 5.5.8.1/21 . I am guessing it
has something to do with a VPN because as0t1 has something to do with VPN.
(I remember playing woth VPN for a day or two)
