Is there a primer or "for dummies" thread?

[pbmax]

I've got 2 old boxes and one laptop running pcLos and connected to the internet both ethernet and wireless, and my wife's school macbook is running wireless as well.

What I can't seem to figure out is how to make them all see each other or to share a printer. Is there a thread for the basics of home networking or a primer thread? I didn't see any stickies and a search for networking basics or primer or for dummies turned up no results.

I'd like to rtfm, if someone could point me towards it please.
thanks

Hi pbmax ,

about the shared printer: there are options to share the printer in CUPS (server, where the printer is physically connected) and there are option to print to a network printer (client side, ipp printer). This is relatively easy in PClinuxOS, using the control center, don't know about MacBook, but considering that Apple bought CUPS shouldn't be a problem, probably there you need to access the CUPS administration interface from a browser pointing to http://localhost:631
