For greatest reading pleasure, I suggest reading Olaf Kirch's Network
Administrator's Guide. It is definitely a heartwarming book for fireside
reading. I have fallen asleep reading it several times.
As for the quick and dirty solution, just make your windows machine so
it is on the same class network. Go into properties under network,
and then the properties for your nic card. I use a class C internal
private network. ie
windows machine
IP address 192.168.1.2
Network 192.168.1.0
Broadcast 192.168.1.255
Linux machine
IP address 192.168.1.100
Network 192.168.1.0
Broadcast 192.168.1.255
If you want to access your newly built linux box from your windows machine
by name, you can add this to your C:\windows\hosts file
192.168.1.100 mymachine.foo.com www.foo.com mymachine
And of course you can go into your linux box and add this to your /etc/hosts
192.168.1.2 mywinmachine.foo.com mywinmachine
Then with your favorite web browser (lynx runs on dos) you can view your
web pages with:
http://mymachine.foo.com
or
http://www.foo.com
There are other options to this as you progress along, but this should get your
feet wet. You of course may start thinking about sharing your net connection
between your machines, and running a dns server. I think if there is any
large draw to linux, I would have to say it is its ability to share an internet
connection.
