For file and resource sharing you want the samba package. Once you install the Debian package you need to read all the man pages and the doc's in /usr/doc/samba as well as the (mini-)HOWTO's in /usr/doc/HOWTO. You should also check out the Samba web pages. There is a modification you need to do to the Win98 registry to change the password encryption behavior, it should be in the docs somewhere. If you want to use the linux box as a gateway for the internet you need to look into IP-Masquerading. It is a kernel option. Read the (mini-)HOWTO's, they are pretty good.
