[CS-FSLUG] Hacker...Me

[Jim Isbell, W5JAI]

Its up and running.  Thanks all for the help.  I can now access all
three computers from any one of the others.  I really didnt think I
could get the Linux box to talk to the XP boxes as I had tried before
and failed.  xtightVNC was the solution to the whole problem.

I wish I knew more about networking. During my 40+ years designing
software and computers, networking and the relationships between LAN
and Internet networking, were an area I missed.  Its still a bit
confusing to me.  Also I am new to Linux so that is a slow learning
curve as well.
