I want to build a small network using Linux as the fileserver and windows 95 computers as the clients. What I have in mind is something similar to what novell network do, but using Linux in the place of the novell server. I want to be able to map a linux partition in the server to work as a directory in the windows 95 computers. I tried to do that using the tcp/ip protocol but then I got realized that windows 95 do not have a client for UNIX networks using the tcp/ip protocol so, I have been unable to map.
I heard that Linux can to use the IPX protocol. I think that maybe I can to configure Linux to emulate a novell network server and then configure the windows 95 computers as novell network clients. I'm writing this letter because I want to know how to configure Linux as a novell server or any other server that windows 95 has client for. If that is not possible I will appreciate if you email me telling that is not possible. I will also thank any other suggest of how to use Linux as a fileserver for windows 95 computers. The only think I do not want to hear is that I have to open a UNIX shell in the windows computers in order to have access to Linux server. If you help me to learn how to configure the fileserver with Linux then I will write a howto under the terms of GNU to help others newbies like me to that. Thanks You.
