Hi,
I have a pc running XP and have just got hold of an old pc and want to network them.
I understand that the easiest and cheapest way is to buy a couple of network cards and some crossover cable. This ,presumably, will obviate the need for a router. Is this right?
My idea is to have my ADSL modem in the old pc and have it share the connection with my current rig.
Ok, now what if I want one of the pc's to run Linux and the other XP. Am i right in thinking that Windows can't read and write to Linux partitions? So , would that mean that I couldn't send data from the XP machine to the Linux machine?
Any advice/suggestions much appreciated.
ives
