need help on connecting a win98 box with a linux machine

[ckho]

how do i make a client-sever connection frm win98(notebook) to linux(pc). i have a nc, and a utp cat5 (cross cable) that's all. The question here is do i really need a hub to do the job???? i think the cross cable should be fine. and the next part is how do i configure linux to accept connection frm win98   the thing i'm going to do here is, I want access apache web server in my linux from the win box and also share files in between those 2 machine   any help would be great, thanks in advance   ckho ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
