This is my exact setup. You will first want to make sure your network is working correctly between Linux and Win95. See the Networking-Overview-HOWTO, NET-3-HOWTO and Ethernet-HOWTO. For the first item you will want to compile the kernel with IP-Masquerading support, see IP-Masquerade mini-HOWTO. For the second and third you want to install the Samba package. The Samba team, http://www.samba.org/, just released v2.0 so you might want to look for it in the unstable tree of Debian the previous version is 1.9.18p10. Read all the docs in the /usr/doc/samba directory as well as SMB-HOWTO. Have fun. -- Brian --------------------------------------------------------------------- "Never criticize anybody until you have walked a mile in their shoes, because by that time you will be a mile away and have their shoes." - unknown Mechanical Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis ---------------------------------------------------------------------
