I have a laptop running knoppix v 3.7 from cd-rom. how can I connect to winxp pc shared folder via LAN? I`m using d-link broadband router DI-604.

Open up the GUI file manager known as konqueror. It is the house icon on the taskbar. Once that comes up, in the location bar, I use the following to authenticate to a Windows domain & then access a windows networking share. In the location bar:

Code:

smb:/domain\username@IP.address.of.machine

If you do not need to authenticate to a domain, the form is:

Code:

smb:/hostname

or

Code:

smb:/IP.address.of.machine

I hope this helps.

Do some more tests to prove that networking works on both the Knoppix machine & the Win XP machine.
Can Knoppix machine ping the gateway and other machines that are not the Win XP machine?
Can WinXP machine ping the gateway and other machines that are not the Knoppix machine?
Can WinXP machine ping the Knoppix machine?
Can Knoppix machine ping the Win XP machine? If not, is there a firewall on the Win XP machine?
