   LANing over a home fiber router

   From: gro...@cyberdude.com   
      
   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.
