I have to disagree and amplify previous comments.
1. Avoid coax cable. Twisted pair is more reliable
and much easier to physically route, and build.
My experiments (and a CNE's statement) show UTP
is faster than coax.
2. When using Win98, you will have to edit the
registry and disable encrypted passwords to
get samba to work. See the samba homepage
previously listed for information.
It really is pretty easy. I have samba serving
three win95 and one win98 computer, and the
configuration went quite well. I followed the
instructions in "Linux Networking Toolkit" by
Sery (IDG Books) and the only problem I've had
was in sharing the CD-ROM - once Windows logs
into samba and maps the CD-ROM, it becomes
unmountable. Of course, this was cured with
a configuration change.
