A simple step to getting beaten up by a pack of linux lovers

[Ronald Highet]

I currently have 2 networks at home   Dread I say it but its Windows, A Microsoft Small Business Server is at the heart and this does all my mail (through exchanges), as each member of the family has their own email address at our domain. It also runs Microsoft Proxy server and ISA server (all built into Small Business package). All the clients connect through this server to the net via ADSL. A Linux network consisting of my desktop computer, and my laptop.   The main reason for me having Linux is for Uni (completing Carl Cerecke’s wonderfully fun projects in COSC204 at Canterbury).   I was wondering if anyone has had any experience at connecting Linux clients to a NT server or at least getting them to access the net through MS Proxy.   Cheers Ronald   p.s. I am aware that it would be a lot simpler if I were to  change the server to Linux, but I need the server up and running to keep current with SBS, as a few customers are also running it.
