Mandrake and Windows XP networking
I have a main computer which is running windows xp and has my internet connection. I also have my laptop which is running mandrake 9.0. I am completely new to lunix and was wondering how to network the two together so i can share my modem (can't afford broadband yet) In windows xp there were no drivers for my network card on the laptop that is why i decided to try Lunix and Mandrake 9.0 was the easiest to get hold of. Eventually i want both computers to be running just lunix as i have found it to be pretty cool.
Any help on my network problem would be greatly appreciated.
cheers

LEARN ABOUT ULTRIX
nrglbd
nrglbd(8ncs) nrglbd(8ncs)
Name
nrglbd - non-replicating global location broker (GBL) daemon
Syntax
/etc/ncs/nrglbd [ -version ]
Description
The global location broker (GLB), enables clients to locate servers on a network or internet. The GLB database stores the locations (that
is, the network addresses and port numbers) where server processes are running. The GLB maintains this database and provides access to it.
The daemon should run as a background process. It requires no options or arguments. A Local Location Broker daemon ( ) must be running on
the local host when is started.
You can run only one on a network or internet.
On ULTRIX systems, is typically started by a line in such as the following:
/etc/ncs/nrglbd& echo -n ' nrglbd' > /dev/console
Options
-version Display the version of the Network Computing Kernel (NCK) that this belongs to but do not start the daemon. (NCK is part of the
Network Computing System (NCS) on which DECrpc is based.)
Restrictions
This section discusses the procedure to follow if the system running the is taken off-line.
If you restart on the same system and no server on any other system changed state, all things should run as before. If, however, an appli-
cation tries to contact a server that is no longer running or which has different port numbers, the application will fail. The application
also will not see any new server registrations.
If a copy of is not available, you must create an up to date version of the file before restarting To do so, use to query the for registra-
tion data on every system running an DECrpcserver and then use to register all DECrpc servers with the GLB on the new host. Then restart
