Hi there,
I have two computer on a home network. They are both connected through a hub which in turn is connected to a DHCP server and firewall box which in turn is connected to a ADSL modem out to the Internet.
I can surf the Internet just fine between the two computers. Computer A has Windows 95. Computer B boots up with Linux but has a Windows 95 formatted FAT32 partition on it. Previously I had the hard drive with the FAT32 partition together with the Windows 95 drive in the same computer. And was just using it for backup purposes.
Without going into a whole lot of detail I now have it in the same computer with still another drive which has my Linux on it.
So I have computer A with a drive given entirely to Windows 95. And computer B with a FAT32 partitioned and non-bootable drive and a second drive with just Linux on it.
How can I access the contents of the non-bootable drive from my Windows 95 computer over my Ethernet network??
Is it a matter of getting a null modem cable and just replacing the Ethernet link whenever I want to access it? Is there some way to hook things up such that I can surf the Internet through my Ethernet network AND access the non-bootable drive at the same time? From my Windows 95 computer?
Any insight or suggestions would be very appreciated.
Thanks.
Carlos
