Hi all,

I have an old pc running RH 6.2 and would like to connect it to my Windows 2000 PC so that I can access it via telnet etc, I'm not really sure on how to do this, and im hoping it will be fairly cheap ;)

If anyone could offer any advice, I would be very greatfull

Thanks,

John

Actually, it's probably free. Telnet is very unsecure though. I would install SSH on your Red Hat machine and make sure port 22 is open. Then install a client on your Windows machine. I think Red Hat is starting to prefer OpenSSH now though.

SSH.com
OpenSSH.com

Thanks for the reply subnet, what would I need in terms of hardware to acheive this, just a direct cable connection or some kind of hub?

Thanks,

a direct connection or a hub would do. I think two null modems with a telephone line may even work.

Although if it's on a local network, Samba would probably be much better. But someone else will have to help you out there. I haven't set up a Samba server in a while.
