Hello,<br />
<br />
I just installed Redhat 6.2 on a little Compaq Presario 1247 notebook. &nbsp;Rather than take the easy path and just buy a pcmcia ethernet card, I'm trying to connect it to a Windows XP machine that is the gateway to my cable modem.....with either a parallel cable or serial cable. &nbsp;Apparently this is easy when it is two windows machines (dcc), and not so bad when it is two linux machines...but between the two? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Could anyone give me any suggestions where to even begin? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Much appreciation

Hello,

I just installed Redhat 6.2 on a little Compaq Presario 1247 notebook.  Rather than take the easy path and just buy a pcmcia ethernet card, I'm trying to connect it to a Windows XP machine that is the gateway to my cable modem.....with either a parallel cable or serial cable.  Apparently this is easy when it is two windows machines (dcc), and not so bad when it is two linux machines...but between the two?  

Could anyone give me any suggestions where to even begin?  

Much appreciation

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
