One computer is running Mandrake 9.2, the other is running XP.
Using LinNeighborhood I can mount the XP drives/folders. I can ping
from Linux to XP.
Using the Mandrake Control Panel I set it up to connect to the Windows
Network but it still isn't showing up on XP (but it does on Mandrake).
I tried to ping from XP to Linux but it fails 100%.
Any suggestions are welcome.
