How to setup LAN to Linux box
Main PC:
Windows 7 Pro
SMC Barricade N router
Backup box:
Linux
NetGear N150 WiFi dongle
Shared hard drive
I just plugged in the router. In Network and Sharing Center I clicked on Local Area connection next to Home Network and then Details.
IP: 198.168.2.100
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 198.168.2.1
In the Linux box I used the Connect wizard to set up the wirelss LAN. Automatically gave
IP: 198.168.2.101
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 198.168.2.1
The blue LED on the WiFi dongle is on and the tray icon shows connected. So I assume everything there is ok. (My knowledge of Linux is VERY limited.)
In Windows Explorer I do not see the Linux shared drive anywhere.
What else do I need to do?
