[SOLVED] How to set up a network in LMDE (32,64) ?
Posted: Thu May 17, 2012 7:13 am
Well the title says it all.
Before I switched to LMDE I had a simple network in my home .
One main "server" running on mint 10 sharing media / software accessed by a few mint 9/10 PC's,an LMDE32, Windows XP,VIsta via eithernet and a few phones and laptops via wifi.
Of course each machine was able to share folders and files with each other as well.
This was done very simply and worked almost the same as the Windows work group network.
Since I have been using LMDE (32 and 64) I have been un able to connect anything at all.
Now I don't mind getting my hands dirty but no matter how much Googling I do I have as yet not found a single doc/vid which says " How to set up a network in LMDE "
Oh and this goes for Debian sites as well and I have given up with chat forums due to lack of knowledge or on some Debian chat groups just pure arrogance!
Now I understand that maybe a simply home network is not so interesting to many people but with the number of multi pc /consoles / handhelds in homes these days I think there should be some documentation / tutorial for LMDE on a MINT site!
So if anyone would write one or know where one is please let me know here then maybe someone else looking for it could find it!
On a personal note I think in this day and age there should be a simple to use automatic network set up by DEFAULT and if your worried about security then just select "off at start up" !
