I have different Windows and Linux machines that share an internal private network. From within this network I can SSH to every machine etc. This internal network works great.
I have my main windows machine from where I control these machines either trough SSH or virtual desktop.
Is there a way for me on my main machine to see all the machines that are connected to the network. I want to be able to see all the machines and maybe browse them, share files etc. I am very new to networking of this kind so any recommendations are welcome.
Should I set up this network by workgroup? I do not think Linux supports that. Or should I set up the network with domain, I never did that before.
1"workgroup" and "domain" are terms from "Windows Networking" aka SMB. linux accesses Windows Networks with a software package called Samba, which is very capable of handling workgroups or domains. – quack quixote – 2010-04-21T08:12:42.267
Ah I see so that's samba. Thank you I have read it but never understood what it was. I will Google further, thanks! – Saif Bechan – 2010-04-21T08:31:15.343
