I need some advice about setting up Linux, so that I can see the box<br />
running it in my Network Neighbourhood on windows 95 and then of course<br />
being able to map a drive. &nbsp;I'am presently working on this and it doesn't<br />
make any sense. I have found a program called Samba and am not really sure<br />
that this is what I need. &nbsp;Is this product necessary or can I solve this<br />
little problem, with the linux software alone. &nbsp;Just so you know I'am able<br />
to ping, ftp and telnet to it so tcpip is cool. When I use the find<br />
computer utility in win95 it of course doesn't find a damn thing, so I also<br />
need advice to as why it doesn't find anything. If any of you linux gurus<br />
have a cool way of doing this please reply to this message or E-mail me at<br />
cybercom@cadvision.com. &nbsp;Thanks in advance.<br />

Linux and Win95

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
