Thanks Glynn,
I stand corrected & hang my head in great shame at my ignorance :-(
Ok, at last my hard head has understood that Samba is what I want.
How about the other way? How can I get the Linux box to recognise
the other Win95 machines as peers? i.e. if there is a file on a Win95
machine that I want to access from the Linux box, how do I go about
it?
Thanks again,
Ishaaq
