You need to set up the workgroup name on the linux box and make a share. &nbsp;Even 95 machines won't show in a browse list unless they are sharing something.<br />
<br />
look in: &nbsp;/etc/smb.conf<br />
<br />
I can do it by trial and error and error and error, but I don't feel comfortable telling you how.<br />
<br />
good luck!<br />

I'm very new to Linux. Just installed Red Hat 5.2. Have a small LAN at my home. 3 computers using WIN98 and 1 using Linux. Question is, Using windows network neighborhood I can only see the WIN98 computers. Is there something I need to do to be able to see the Linux system? Will I be able to read files and directories on the linux machine from win98 machine? And the other way around too? Thanks.<br />

Networking Question

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

Linux Distributions

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.
