Help me to build a fileserver!!!
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.
