Okay, well your subject line starts with NFS, so I'm making a stab in the
dark here, and I'm going to assume you were planning on using NFS.
I don't know much about NFS, but one of the things that I do remember
hearing is that it's a TCP/IP system. You're only runing IPX and NetBEUI.
The Best Solution (tm) for you is to probably investigate SAMBA
(samba.anu.edu.au, if my memory serves me correctly), and install TCP/IP on
your Winblows machine. That will let you share drivers and printers between
the windows machine and the real computers <grin>. It's easy enuf to
compile from source, and is well documented, but I assume some nice person
has gone off and made a .deb package for you to use.
Hope that helps,
