Desktop is wired with UE2.3 primary, XP Home alternate.
Internet is cable broadband from "junk telephony device" via ethernet crossover cable to router.
Router is Linksys WRT54GS ver6 (preferred - WPA2) or Westell Versalink DSL wireless router (alternate - WEP
DSL disabled & set to see internet on port #1).Prefer to use the Linksys as it has better security but have just determined that I can use the (dsl) wireless router as an emergency spare.
When using the non-Linksys and running XP Home on the desktop, I can mount its e: and f: (physical hard drives) from my laptop (running UE2.3). The desktop uses a program called Network Magic to arrange to share those hard drives and also the desktop's printer.
After a short "playing around" with an rpm-based distro I have decided to permanently install Ultimate Edition onto my desktop to compliment the installation on my laptop.
Would like to know the steps I need to perform in order to share my desktop's printer second and third (& possibly first) hard drives with my laptop (in UE2.3).
Would also like to know how to access the laptop's hard drive from the desktop - but this is not nearly as important.
Thank you!
