linux and xp
I'm sure you've probably covered this somewhere, but I havn't found anything specific yet. I'm a linux newbie and worthless at networking, however I'm running 2 computers. the main is a dual boot Win XP-Suse 8.0 Pro machine and the second is running straight win xp. my linux machine up till recently has been my win xp gateway. I'm trying to learn linux and am using the KDE interface. I've configured my network cards correctly but am still not able to see the xp only machine, nor am I able to see my windows c drive (linux is assigned to d) any and all help would be appreciated. Oh, and I would like to keep the above configuration, I've heard linux is great for security and my girlfriend is ALL over the net getting crap on her system (the xp only machine) I'm hoping to eventually switch over to linux full time but the configurations are a little over my head in places.

what do you meen by cant see the xp machine? You may need the samba client for this (samba does SMB protocol also known as CIFS or netbios), found in YAST under networking on suse 9 not sure on 8. also you should be able to see the windows partition but if its ntfs can only read and not write to it straight out of the box.

Ok, When running linux I have a shortcut to my C:drive (winXP) but can't access at all. from root I can go to my windows folder but from there I get nothing. The other machine (has only win xp) is network bridged into my win-linux machine under windows but I'm unable to do the same under linux

Are you saying that you want the XP machine to connect to the internet through the linux-xp machine while booted to linux? If this is the case open YAST and goto the firewall and check the box to enable masquerading. As for the other issue im not sure as mine see's xp partition just fine so im assuming that you have something configured in xp different dunno.
