Re: SAMBA w/ TCP/IP
Wrong. Samba uses NetBT (otherwise known as NetBIOS over TCP/IP). It doesn't use
NetBEUI, which is a protocol which sits directly on top of the media layer
(ethernet) and is proprietary. And to correct those who would say otherwise,
NetBIOS *is not* a protocol. It is an interface (API). Please read Internet
Standard 19 (RFCs 1001, 1002) for more details.
So, Samba will only use tcp/ip. Samba will interoperate with your Win95 boxes
running "Microsoft Networking". When you go to "Network Neighborhood" samba will
show up along with all your Win95 boxes. You can share files and printers from
your Linux box.
