crossover network

[giacomix]

Hey all,

I have:

1 laptop running Knoppix 3.6 (LiveCD)
1 laptop running Windows 98 (first edition)
1 crossover ethernet cable

Is there anybody so kind as to give me a very elementary explanation on how to get to share files between the two laptops?

TIA!

My fault and my apologies: I saw the "networking" forum only after I already posted on the "general support" one. My apologies again.

Very elementary explanation: use static IP and put your two machines on the same net (eg 192.168.0.11 and 192.168.0.12).

Oh, and plug that cable.
