Yes my linux server is connected to the school's LAN. My Win98 box is connected to the
linux server.

Yes
>2) WINs, is there a wins server on the school LAN,(eg an NT server with wins running)?
don't know

tried setting my server as a client, it didn't work.

tried editing lmhosts and disabling wins resolution, but no go.

I'll check into that

OK
Thanks for the help.
