How do you connect? - Via modem or LAN?
ok, i got the internet working, now is it possible to have windows computers see the linux computer on the network?
You need a piece of software called Samba, which will make your linux box look like a Windows PC and enable you to export shares visible to Windows.
I think Mandrake comes pre installed with Samba. If it is you could probably use Swat to configure it. If not you can always pick up and install the necessary RPM's.
ok thanks
You can get to SWAT by going to http://localhost:901
