[techtalk] stuck with TCP/IP, win98 and linux

[Stephan Zaniolo]

         I'm not sure if this is the "proper" way of doing it, but I setup 
a Samba server and followed the instructions from that.  (You can get the 
instructions from:

         http://home.earthlink.net/~michaelburns/samba.html

Chapter 3 has info on how to setup Windows machines.)

Hope this helps,
Stephan
