You don't need to set up default gateways as you have in your example. Since both machines are in the same subnet 192.168.1.x the netmask 255.255.255.0 takes care of them being able to find each other.

The gateway is the IP address of the machine to contact for sending packets off the local subnet. By convention in in your network scheme it would be 192.168.1.1. The gateway machine would contain at least one additional network card belonging to another subnet or a modem for PPP.

Anyway - none of this has anything to do with your question. I just thought you might want to know...

BTW - I like the names.

Is Samba running in your Linux machine? That only makes it to see from a windows machine. Make sure that samba is running in linux machine.

Thank you. I couldn't find linuxconf but I did find smb.conf and edited it and now I can see snoopy in Network Neighborhood and have even mapped a drive to it.

lewisg - I know what you said about the default gateway. I just put that in becaue the setup program asked me to. I mentioned it because I thought a reciprical (sp?) reference like that might cause problems but it doesn't seem to.

I'm glad you like the names. I have users named garfield and nermal on odie and plan to set up something like charlie and lucy on snoopy.
