  • LANing over a home fiber router

    From groovee@cyberdude.com@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jul 19 21:32:25 2020
    I have a standard FTTH router which came with my net connection, i.e. whatever my ISP has given me, it's not bought. If TWO laptops are connected to it OVER WIFI, can they share files between em, assuming a pretty out-of-the-box Linux installation? What
    about sharing a printer, ie. if ONE laptop has one there, you can print from the other one? What do I need, this "SMB" thing, or NFS or what??
    I'm vaguely curious as to whether this can be done with out-the-box WINDOZE as well, but not really :)


    Thanks.

    You should be able to.

    I would think that LPD or CUPS would be sufficient to allow printing
    across the network.

    Yes, this should be relatively trivial to do on Windows as Windows has installed the necessary software by default for about 20 years.

    Thanks.

    You're welcome.
