   Hi alls, i'd like configure my home lan, i have a pc with w7 and another with slitaz.
   In slitaz i have two card lans, one wirless and another cabled.
   I connect internet with wireless card, but i can't configure the another one to view share folders from the other pc.
   In windows there is network icon to see the pc's connected in lan, but here i dont see it.

   I'm afraid you will not be able run both networks concurrently with Slitaz - at least I have not been able to!

   Also, not sure how Windows 'sees' other PCs - Unless Win7 uses ip protocol natively it is unlikely that Slitaz PC will be visible to Windows. If you want to share folders with Windows you will need to run Samba on Slitaz. I haven't played with Windows for a long time so my comments on Win7 may not be quite correct.

   Question is: what do you intend to achieve?

   If you want your Win- and SliTaz-machine to exchange data, you do not necessarily need both interfaces on your SliTaz-PC.
   They just have to be in the same net (normally controlled by a router) with their own IP-adresses.

   If you have an internet-router offering LAN and WLAN, and DHCP is running on the router, all PCs plugged in via LAN and all WLAN-interfaces with the correct passpbrase should be given unique IP-adresses (normally like 192.168.xxx.yyy).

   They may exchange information via these adresses, if they use a common service/protocol (like SMB/samba for windows shares) and the router allows information exchange of the attached machines (in a FritzBox this is disbled by default for security reasons...).

   I don't see a reason, why you should need to use both interfaces (resulting in the use of the SliTaz PC as a bridge).

   So - to cut it short -

   -configure your router using DHCP
   -identify the IP adresses (for example using ifconfig/iwconfig on the linux machine)
   -install/configure samba

   and you should be ready to go...
