Okay, so I'm going crazy trying to get my Win98 laptop to network with a
2000 box that I have my DSL connections through so I can transfer my
digital camera pictures from the laptop to the 2000 box, and get work
from the 2000 box to the laptop, etc.  BUT, per the norm for
MicroSLOTH,  I can get outside web access no problem on my LAN for both
boxes, but I can't get NetBIOS/NetBUEI to run right for Microsoft
networking to save my life since I have 98 mixed with 2000, right!!!

So, I set up a Samba server on my laptop (linux boot side of disk)
(knowing squat about SAMBA 2.5 hours ago), and now I have full access
both ways from either box and since my Win98 laptop partition is mounted
on my linux partition, I just make links from my Samba default login
directory to wherever on the 98 partition and I'm transfering gobs of
stuff over the net.  Sneakernet is a thing of the past for this guy!!! 
I just LOVE Linux.

ThinkPad ListServ guys, thanks tons for all your help with the Linksys
PCMCIA NIC.  I've tried all the distros now including Debian, and SuSE
is the best - head and shoulders above the rest for TP600 config stuff. 
I also see that LinkSys has put a link up again on their new pages for
Linux users so I guess I should retract my earlier nasty comments about
XP and the dark side.

Go with the force, use Open Source.
- Joe
