Need Help with Networking

[miriamr]

Hi,

I want to connect pc1 to pc2 which is connected to network to transfer files from pc2 to pc1. I want pc1 to be connected by a separate NIC so I added an additional card to pc2 and if I type ifconfig is see eth0 (192.168.100.103) and eth1 (192.168.100.105). I can also ping each other.
My problem is I can't mount the shared folder from pc2 on pc1 when I try type
mount 192.168.100.105:/test /data
What can I be doing wrong? can anybody help me please again. Thanks.

:D

read up on samba for this one.
i THINK you can
smbmount //ip/sharename /mnt/spot

but don't quote me!!
to transfer files, i just ftp them..
it's fast, and reliable...
but if you're not SERVING ftp, then turn it off after each use... write a script that'll do it for you

I'm a bit confused, I'm running linux pc's. I thought samba was for windows to linux and vice versa. :confused:

Samba is for windows to linux and vice-versa, you should look into NFS. It'd be the best thing that I can think of as of this moment.
