network configurations

to find other computers, uhm, it should work great if you had konqueror or similar.
to manually config IP, do

Code:

sudo ifconfig eth0 you:r:IP:address

your network card is possibly called something else, look it up with

Code:

sudo lspci|grep net

.
example

Quote:

sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.99

on one computer and

Quote:

sudo ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.97

on the other.
the above done, do

Code:

sudo passwd knoppix

to give knopix a password on both computers.
now to the file sharing, that can be done via scp, sftp, NFS, FTP or samba and severasl othwer ways. that last is not very good, NFS needs some setting up so I usually go with ftp or scp.
let us use sftp, which is part of SSHD on your knoppix disk.
check what the computers ip is (the computer you are not sitting at) and run a ftp program, say gftp, then use ssh2 protocol to that ip using knoppix as user name.

or do sftp in a console.
sftp [email protected]

then use

Quote:

get /home/knoppix/filename

or

Quote:

put /home/knoppix/filename

to put or get files.

to list files do, ls (L not i) to list files on remote computer and lls (two L's) on the computer you are sitting at (while sftp is running).

workgroup? uhm, that requires samba and i do not feel confortable saying that is included in knoppix 6.01.

OH, and check the wiki for more help on most things, there you find how things are done fairly step by step.
